The Charlotte Hornets have shown a mix of resilience and areas for improvement in their recent outings. With a record that reflects challenges on both ends of the court, they've managed to pull off significant plays that hint at their potential for upset victories. In their last game against the Hawks, despite a loss with 110 points scored against Atlanta's 123, the Hornets demonstrated their ability to score from various positions on the floor. Their efficiency game score and assists turnover ratio suggest a team working hard to optimize its offensive output.


However, defensive metrics indicate room for growth. The defensive rating and points allowed per possession highlight areas where tightening up could significantly impact their game outcomes positively. As they head into this match-up with the Clippers, focusing on reducing turnovers and capitalizing on fast break opportunities could be key strategies.
