Charlotte’s Offense Gets Going in New Orleans
After enduring a rocky opening quarter in which they were outscored by 16 points, the Hornets regrouped over the final three frames for a comeback win against New Orleans last night thanks in large part to their offense and opportunistic point production. Charlotte outscored the Pelicans, 71-51, in the second half, while shooting 52% from the field and 13-of-23 from three-point range (57%). The offense has been a work in progress thus far as the team continues to adjust to a newer style of play this season, although perhaps yesterday’s 118-point outburst is a good sign that things are beginning to turn for the better.
