GREENSBORO, N.C. -- The Charlotte Hornets are less than two weeks away from the start of a new season.
They'll open the year under new head coach James Borrego. Before Borrego and the Hornets get the season started, Coach sat down with WFMY News 2's Patrick Wright for one minute of rapid-fire questions.
Here's the full transcript:
PW: The biggest adjustment between assistant coaching and head coaching?

PW: What do you like to eat?
JB: I'm a tacos guy. I love tacos or pasta.
PW: We talking Taco Bell? Authentic?
