The Charlotte Hornets are enjoying the first portion of the NBA’s 82-game marathon. Charlotte has won two of three, oddly going 1-1 in one-point games. Continuing the oddness, their pair of wins were on the road, including a 32-point annihilation of the Orlando (lack of) Magic. Their third of four straight away games sees them facing the Toronto Raptors, who are in the midst of a crowded bunch of homies.
The top of the NBA scoring race features the surprising name of Charlotte point guard Kemba Walker. He’s scored 106 points in 3 games, while hitting 19 (of 38) long balls, both league-leading totals.
