The Hornets have shown a mixed bag of results in their past few outings. In a recent home game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, they put up a valiant fight but ultimately fell short with a score of 117-123. Despite this loss, there were positive takeaways; they boasted an impressive assist-to-turnover ratio of 3.63 and shot a remarkable 48 percent from beyond the arc.


In another close encounter, Charlotte edged out a win over the Brooklyn Nets with an exhilarating one-point victory at 129-128. Their offensive prowess was on full display as they achieved perfect free throw shooting and demonstrated lethal accuracy from three-point land hitting 58 percent of their attempts.


However, consistency remains an issue for Charlotte as evidenced by their performance against the New York Knicks where they suffered a significant defeat scoring only 91 points while allowing 115 points against them. This game highlighted areas needing improvement particularly in maintaining possession as reflected by their lower assists turnover ratio of just above one.


With these trends in mind, fans can anticipate that Charlotte will look to capitalize on their strong three-point shooting and aim for better ball security when they visit Chicago's court. The Hornets' ability to maintain offensive efficiency while tightening up defense could be key factors influencing this upcoming game's outcome.


For those looking forward to catching all the action live from United Center or tuning in from home, you can watch this NBA matchup on NBCS-CHI or BSSE depending on your location. Tip-off is set for December 7th at United Center located in Chicago's vibrant West Side neighborhood known for its passionate basketball fanbase which could add an extra layer of intensity to this contest.
