Stat: 11.5 TO Rate

That’s the Charlotte Hornets turnover rate according to NBA.com. It’s the lowest in the league since it started counting turnovers in 1977.

If you are wondering what makes the Hornets so good, outside of Kemba Walker, there’s your answer. Charlotte is really embracing the “don’t beat yourself” style of basketball. If so, it’s working. The Hornets are 12-9.
