Summer League is supposed to be a time for growth. The end results of the games don’t matter in the grand scheme of things, and the players involved should mainly be focused on improving. That point stands for the Charlotte Hornets, whose Summer League team has some players that could turn into potential rotation pieces.
But while all of that rings true, it’s tough to look past a loss as brutal as the one Charlotte suffered against the Indiana Pacers on Friday night. The final score showed a deficit of just 12 points, but watching the game, it was clear that the Hornets were simply outmatched.
