170. . 8-13. Previous: 26th. Charlotte Hornets. 24. team

Offense: (105.8) – 22nd
Defense: (114.4) –  28th
Net: (minus -8.6) – 28th

Games Week 6: (2-2 ) Wins vs. Detroit twice, lost to Heat, Bucks
Games Week 7(4 games): Mon, Dec. 2 vs. Suns | Weds, Dec. 4  vs. Warriors | Fri, Dec. 6 vs. Nets | Sun, Dec 8 vs. Hawks

Much like the Pistons wish they never had to play the Hornets again Charlotte wishes they matched up versus every club like they do with the Pistons.

By virtue of winning the home and home series this week, the Hornets have bested the Pistons in all three of their meetings.

That said the early shine of those buzzer beaters hasn’t carried over to their other games. However, like the youngsters in Miami, the emergence of Devonte Graham is one of the early feel good stories of the seasons.
