The Charlotte Hornets suffered a tough loss to the Tampa Bay Raptors with the NBA preseason kicking off for the organization.
The Charlotte Hornets had their first NBA preseason tip against the newly relocated Tampa Bay Raptors and it was, inspiring.
Now the Hornets did lose following some weak second and third quarter performances, but overall the franchise showed out with their young talent and the roster had flashes of dominance. The 22-0 run in the first quarter was really well-executed basketball with perfect decisions made on both sides of the ball.
