Last season, the Hornets played 82 games and had a field goal percentage of 46, which is just shy of being considered efficient in league standards. Their free throw percentage stood at 75, while their true shooting percentage was an impressive 55. However, one area where they struggled was beyond the arc; they shot only 33 percent from three-point range. Inside the arc was a different story as they made over half of their two-point attempts with a conversion rate of 53.

Defensively, Charlotte showed prowess by averaging over five blocks and nearly eight steals per game. They were also able to maintain control of the ball relatively well with turnovers kept under fourteen per game.

The team's fast break opportunities were capitalized efficiently with a fast break percentage of 57; however, it will be crucial for them to maintain or improve upon this figure if they wish to keep up with Miami's pace.

Rebounding has been another strong suit for Charlotte as they averaged about forty-five rebounds per game last season. This rebounding ability could play an essential role in controlling possession and limiting second-chance points for Miami.

In terms of scoring distribution, assists averaged out to twenty-five per game indicating good ball movement which led to an average scoring output of one hundred eleven points per contest.

As we look ahead to this matchup at Kaseya Center scheduled for October 10th at 23:30 UTC (7:30 PM local time), fans can catch all the action on NBA TV nationally or BSSE locally for away supporters. The venue is known for its energetic atmosphere which could influence both teams' performances but particularly challenge visiting squads like Charlotte who must adapt quickly to stay competitive throughout four quarters of basketball action.
