It’s been night and day for the Hornets over their last two outings compared to the first two after they evened their record to 2-2 with an impressive 118-99 road win over the Mavericks on Wednesday night. Improvements in several different areas can be attributed for the 180-degree turn, none more so than the team’s 98.1 defensive rating across the 2-0 stretch. Brooklyn and Dallas shot a combined 41% from the field, 33% from three, managed just 68 total paint points and committed 33 turnovers for 43 points in those two losses, providing plenty of transition and fast-break opportunities for Charlotte’s fast-paced offense.
