The Hornets just wrapped up a respectable 43 win campaign. In true Charlotte sports fashion, that was only good enough to earn them the 10 seed, by far the lowest seed by an Eastern Conference team with that many wins in at least 25 years (I didn’t feel like going back further than that). Thankfully this new play-in tournament gives the Hornets a chance to play their way into the playoffs.
