The modern version of the NBA is arguably the most physically demanding the sport has ever been given the trend of playing at a breakneck pace and the athleticism and strength of the athletes involved.

They’re currently four games into a stretch in where they’re playing 10 of 11 at State Farm Arena, still one of seven teams in NBA history (the Hornets are another) with a winning record (17-15) on the road and a losing record (13-16) at home.
