We spent a good bit of time talking about the Hornets late game woes at the end of the Steve Clifford era in Charlotte. The Hornets lost at least a dozen one possession games in a row and just about every player had brutal numbers in crunch time. With a new coaching staff and scheme in place, one could reasonably hope those issues would be resolved. They haven’t, and it’s only gotten worse as the season has gone on.
Since the calendars turned over to 2019, the Hornets have been the worst fourth quarter team in the NBA, and it’s really not close.
