Charlotte’s Offense Continuing to Click Over Past 7 Games
In their first game against the Grizzlies last month, the Hornets shot just 41% and 9-of-31 from three (29%), leading to a season-low 93 points in a 15-point home loss on New Year’s Day. Specifically, the Charlotte starters combined for just 49 total points and accounted for 13 of the team’s 18 total turnovers. Across a 5-2 stretch over the last week-and-a-half though, the Hornets rank 10th in the league in offensive rating (117.0), while shooting 47% and 43% from three (16.7 3PM per game), which is perhaps a sign that the early-season offensive woes are firmly in the rearview mirror.
