Recent Trends and Performance


The Hornets have shown a mixed bag of results in their recent outings. Despite a challenging start to the season, they managed an impressive victory against the Detroit Pistons with a scoreline of 123-121, showcasing their potential for high-scoring games. This win was characterized by effective field goal percentages and an ability to capitalize on second-chance points, demonstrating the team's resilience and offensive capabilities.

The Hornets struggled to maintain possession and were outplayed in fast-break situations, areas they'll need to address ahead of facing Miami Heat.
