Same Old Story: Lakers Pull Away From Hornets in the Third Quarter

We’ve all seen this before: the Hornets keep it close in the first half, but as soon as the whistle blows to start the 3rd period, the game is over. Tonight against the Lakers was no different. The Hornets actually led 48-47 at the break but gave up a 13-0 run to start the 3rd. […]

Game On: Lakers @ Hornets

I have no idea how the rest of the Hornets247 crew let me preview and recap this game given that I’m originally from Los Angeles and still have lots of Laker love in my heart. But don’t worry, I have tons of Hornets (Pelicans?) love as well! And in an effort to stay neutral, I’ll […]

Stellar Second Half for Hornets leads to 102-81 Rout of Bucks

This game was entirely a tale of two halves. It really felt like the Hornets got outplayed in the first half, yet they took a three point lead into halftime purely thanks to the Bucks’ strange inability to make two-point shots.

Hornets Can’t Keep up with High Powered Thunder

Hustle. Work hard. Never give up. Monty can preach these things to his team all season, and on some nights like Monday against the Clippers, these things will be rewarded with a victory. But what happens when you face a team that has a coach who preaches all of the same fundamentals, but happens to […]

Game On: Thunder @ Hornets

Keys to the Game 1. Create Turnovers Without Fouling The Thunder turnover rate is the highest in the NBA, but when these teams met two weeks ago, the Hornets were unable to put any pressure on the Thunder’s perimeter trio. Instead, Oklahoma City got into the paint at will and had wide open perimeter looks. […]
