Recent Trends and Performances


The Hornets have had a challenging season so far, with their recent games reflecting a mix of resilience and areas needing improvement. In their last three outings, they've shown a fighting spirit but struggled to consistently translate effort into victories. Against the Atlanta Hawks, despite a commendable effort that saw them rack up 104 points and demonstrate defensive tenacity with 13 steals, they fell short by just three points in a closely contested game. Their encounter with the New York Knicks was another heartbreaker; leading for over 38 minutes indicates potential that's yet to be fully harnessed. The game against Miami Heat showcased their ability to mount comebacks, as evidenced by their explosive final quarter performance.


One notable trend is the Hornets' reliance on perimeter shooting; in these three games alone, they attempted an eye-watering total of 146 three-point shots but struggled with efficiency from beyond the arc. This high-volume strategy has its risks and rewards, potentially setting the stage for either spectacular success or disappointment depending on execution.
