It's still too early in the season, but the Charlotte Hornets may have already hit rock bottom after losing to the Indiana Pacers, who had the lowest record entering the Monday matchup and were missing a handful of players. With things going south fast, the Hornets should now start building their offense around Kon Knueppel and see how it goes.
The Rookie of the Year pacesetter showed on Monday how ready he is to take over for the team when it needs him most.
With Charlotte entering the fourth quarter down 104-84 and LaMelo Ball extending his shooting slump and not looking like himself, it seemed another blowout loss was unavoidable.
