The Charlotte Hornets (5-5) aren’t doing too bad this year. Yes, they’ve lost a few close ones, which is something they need to remedy. They’ve beaten the Miami Heat twice already (something they couldn’t do at all last year), and finally defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers after losing nine straight to them. Yes, they don’t have LeBron James any longer, but I’m trying to look for positives any way I can here.
Something else positive going for the Hornets is their recent play against the Atlanta Hawks (3-6). Charlotte has won seven of their last eight against their I-85 rivals.
