A look at three key numbers related to Friday’s game at the Smoothie King Center between Charlotte and New Orleans (7 p.m., Fox Sports New Orleans, WRNO 99.5 FM):
1, 5: If these two teams play the way they normally do, don’t expect a lot of miscues. According to Basketball-Reference.com, Charlotte is the best team in the NBA at taking care of the ball, committing a turnover on only 12.1 percent of its possessions. New Orleans is a top-five squad in that category as well, ranking fifth. In terms of raw numbers, the Hornets are also No.
