The Charlotte Hornets fell short in their final home game of the 2023-24 season after losing to the Dallas Mavericks 130-104. Charlotte wanted to close out their home stand strong not just to get a win on the board, but for Steve Clifford as well. Clifford is elevating to a front office advisory role at the end of the season, so he coached his last game in front of the fans in Buzz City. Before the game the Hornets showed their appreciation by having a framed jersey presented to him before the game.
