Looking back at their last game on February 24 against the Golden State Warriors, it was a tough night where they fell short with 84 points against the Warriors' 97. Despite this loss, there were positive takeaways – like their impressive steal count of 13 and a solid free throw percentage of 82. However, turnovers were a concern as they racked up 19 in total.


In contrast, when the Hornets played at home against the Atlanta Hawks on February 15, they dominated with an emphatic victory scoring an impressive 122 points to Atlanta's 99. Their field goal percentage stood at a commendable 49 percent and their three-point shots hit the mark at a rate of 40 percent. Notably, their bench contributed significantly with 40 points.


The upcoming game presents an opportunity for Charlotte to capitalize on its strengths – particularly its ability to score from fast breaks and second-chance opportunities. The Hornets should focus on maintaining possession and reducing turnovers which have plagued them in past games.


Orlando Magic comes into this matchup after varied performances but cannot be underestimated. They will challenge Charlotte defensively and offensively; however, if recent games are any indication, Charlotte has what it takes to control the pace of the game in front of their home crowd.


The key for CHA will be harnessing that same energy and efficiency displayed against Atlanta Hawks – where every player stepped up contributing both offensively and defensively leading them to that commanding win.


With these insights in mind, fans can look forward to what promises to be an exciting encounter between two teams eager for victory. The scheduled tip-off is set for March 5th at exactly seven o'clock in the evening Eastern Time (ET) at Spectrum Center in Charlotte NC. Fans can catch all live action broadcasted on BSSE or BSFL networks ensuring not a moment is missed from what could potentially be another standout performance by your Charlotte Hornets.
