Well, the ride’s almost over.
The Charlotte Hornets have dealt with bad luck and disappointment in almost every way possible for a basketball team this season. A five-game winning streak spearheaded by LaMelo Ball and Mark Williams and complemented by Gordon Hayward and Terry Rozier inspired hope for a positive ending, but that was quickly dispelled when the basketball gods sidelined Ball yet again, and the fanbase’s collective eyes went right back to the lottery balls.
Thankfully, the Hornets’ season ended (in spirit) right when the most exciting portion of the college basketball schedule hit.
