There’s a famous American phrase that says, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”
However, if one believes that statement to be true, then the opposite also rings true, right? If something is broken, then fixing it should probably be a top priority. Well, unfortunately, the Charlotte Hornets’ defense is certainly broken.
They rank 26th in the NBA in defensive rating (112.8) and 29th in points allowed per game (115.5). Charlotte has only allowed less than 100 points seven times this year, and they’ve allowed 120 or more 15 times.
In games where the Hornets allow 120 or more points, they are 3-15.
