Recent Performance Trends


The Hornets have shown a mix of resilience and struggle in their recent outings. Despite a commendable effort against the Wizards, where they scored 114 points and demonstrated strong offensive rebounds and second-chance points, they fell short by 9 points in a high-scoring affair. This loss highlighted areas for improvement, particularly in three-point shooting efficiency and defensive solidity.


Conversely, their performance against the Rockets was less inspiring, with only 101 points scored and a significant gap in efficiency from both ends of the court. The team's inability to lead at any point during these games underscores the need for strategic adjustments.
