Analyzing Past Performances


A look back at recent performances reveals a mixed bag for the Charlotte Hornets, but with glimpses of brilliance that could be harnessed to overpower the Orlando Magic. Despite facing challenges in previous games, including a tough loss against the Hawks where they scored 102 points compared to Atlanta's 134, there were notable positives. The team showed resilience and an ability to create scoring opportunities, particularly from within the paint where they amassed 50 points.


However, it was in their stunning victory over San Antonio Spurs that the Hornets truly showcased what they're capable of when firing on all cylinders. Scoring an impressive 145 points against San Antonio's 134, Charlotte demonstrated lethal efficiency from beyond the arc with a three-point shooting percentage of 56 percent. Their offensive prowess was complemented by solid defense and an ability to capitalize on turnovers, turning them into 23 crucial points.
