Analyzing Recent Performances


The Charlotte Hornets have shown flashes of brilliance and resilience in their recent games. Despite facing challenges, their ability to score from various positions on the court has been noteworthy. In their last outing against the Memphis Grizzlies on January 22, 2025, they racked up an impressive 120 points. Their scoring spree was particularly notable in the third and fourth quarters where they managed to net 36 points each time. This offensive surge underscores their capability to push back even when trailing.


Their prowess isn't limited to just scoring; they've demonstrated a solid defensive game as well. The team's efficiency rating stood at 132 against the Grizzlies, despite falling short in that contest. Moreover, their ability to draw fouls (30 times) while maintaining fewer turnovers (16) than possessions (105.08) speaks volumes about their strategic gameplay.
