The Charlotte Hornets are playing some inspired basketball. A sleepy start like the one the team had tonight against the Indiana Pacers would have doomed Hornets teams of old. Not this one.
On the backs of Brandon Miller and LaMelo Ball, the Hornets dominated the second half against the Pacers, outscoring Indiana by 29 points in the last 18 minutes of action to walk out of their home arena with a 20 point victory that enthralled the thousands of fans that made their way to the Spectrum Center.
It was a performance that put the league on notice, solidifying the fact that these are not the Charlotte Hornets that they once were.
