Man, hell naw it wasn’t safe to call the Charlotte Hornets contenders. It is a good thing they won all those games early on because they would be a real bad team right now. After that win against Atlanta, the Hornets have been complete trash, they can’t close a game.
Being fair, injuries have started slowing the team down. Had they been playing at full strength, they probably would’ve beaten New Orleans and won tonight. But, they didn’t and the record doesn’t stop just because a team is banged up.
Carmelo Anthony closed the Hornets out, in the end, and Kemba Walker has been getting shut down in these games. The Knicks won just like how the Pelicans and Spurs did, getting them in the closing moments. Hornets fans on Twitter are saying the same thing we are, these dudes need to close out bruh.
