Recent Performance Trends


The Charlotte Hornets have shown a mix of resilience and areas needing improvement in their recent outings. With a record of 13 wins and 39 losses so far this season, the team has faced its fair share of challenges. In their last three games, they've displayed varying degrees of performance across different aspects of play.


Offensively, the Hornets have had moments where they've shone brightly. For instance, in one of their recent matches against Detroit Pistons, they managed to score 102 points with an impressive true shooting percentage of 58 percent and a three-point shooting accuracy that stood out at 47 percent. However consistency remains an issue as seen in another game where they only scored 86 points against Orlando Magic with a lower field goal percentage.
