The Hornets’ offense has been stuck in a rut out in the Nevada desert and committing 48 total turnovers during its two-game span thus far is a major reason why. Head Coach Dutch Gaitley pinpointed a lack of ball movement throughout the team’s 80-70 loss to the Kings on Monday night, allowing the Kings’ defense to swallow up the team’s all-too-frequent iso possessions.
Two days off in between games should certainly provide the Hornets a needed rest and evaluation period. Primary ball-handlers like Grant Riller, James Bouknight and DJ Carton need to lead the charge in the passing department and get more players involved in order to get Charlotte’s point production pointed in the right direction.
