As expected, the Charlotte Hornets got off to a strong start to the season after knocking off the Milwaukee Bucks and Miami Heat, which included a 19-point comeback in the second half, in their first two games.
Even though I can’t fault the Hornets for losing to the Boston Celtics on a second night of a back-to-back, it should be noted that the Celtics were also playing their third game in four nights. No matter how talented you are, that’s not an easy task by any means.
With that said, the Hornets look like a team that will be battling for a top 4 seed in the East. After losing Jeremy Lin, Courtney Lee and Al Jefferson, that’s a really good sign.
