Three eye-popping stats from the Hornets' preseason opener vs. Knicks

The Charlotte Hornets and New York Knicks went down to the wire in the preseason opener on Sunday with the Knicks squeaking out a 111-109 win. Here are a few of the key stats from that game that are worth noting.

Hornets holding their own inside

With Mark Williams (foot) out, I expected life in the paint and on the glass to be difficult against the New York Knicks. Instead, they were dead-even in points in the paint and actually won the edge on the glass, 46-39. Nick Richards snagged nine of those boards and also had three rejections on the night.
