The Charlotte Hornets are winners of six straight games after recently defeating the Boston Celtics 118-89. According to the NBA on ESPN, this was another big win for the Hornets, and they made history with this win and put themselves in the same conversation as the 2017 Golden State Warriors.
“Charlotte Hornets are on a roll: six straight wins by 15+ points. “Tied for the second-longest streak in NBA history, longest since the 2017-18 Golden State Warriors,” the NBA wrote on Twitter.
Everyone knows what a special Warriors team they were and Kevin Durant changed everything for them. The Hornets haven’t added a player like Durant, but it seems like they’ve figured something out over the past few months and are finally reaping the benefits.
The Hornets are now over .500, and have a chance to keep climbing the Eastern Conference standings. At this point, they will be in the play-ins, but if some of the teams above them start to falter, they could finish in the top six.
Not only are the starting five playing well, but the bench comes in and keeps the team afloat. Coby White has been a huge contributor for the Hornets since he started playing, and he was a great addition at the trade deadline to give them someone who can come in and score at will.
“Just a dynamic veteran guard off the bench. He’s doing a great job. He can score 20-30. [points] Every night if he wanted to, but just having him as the sixth man, it’s great for us,” Miles Bridges said. “He’s playing in his hometown. Therefore, it should feel extra good for him and be comfortable. We’re trying to make him comfortable with our team and we’re happy to have him.”
It’s been a great time for the Hornets to play like this, and they’ll look to continue that.
