Little went right over the last week for the Hornets. Where one win would have sealed them the eighth seed in the play-in tournament, the Hornets lost their final five contests, including a weekend doubleheader in overtime against the Knicks on Saturday and by five points against the Wizards on Sunday.
The end result sees the Hornets in the tenth seed, a massive difference from the eighth seed. Instead of having two chances to win one game with the latter of those contests coming at home, Charlotte will need to win two road games in three days to earn the eighth seed.
