Huge team win for the Hornets last night in a game that came down to the wire. Six Hornets had double digit points last night and Miles added in 9 of his own. The Hornets also managed to play some decent team defense causing the Pacers FG% and 3P% to drop dramatically from Wednesday night’s performance. There isn’t even a random role player for me to bitch about working us this game!
Sabonis and Turner got their buckets and rebounds last night but limiting Brogdon and the rest of the guards turned out to be enough for the Hornets to hold on and win. The game got a bit hairy in the fourth quarter but it was not very upsetting to me. It felt like the Pacers, who are the better team, got back into this game and not that the Hornets LET them back into the game. Yes, the Pacers outscored the Hornets by 6 in the fourth quarter but that was more because of the Hornets missing open looks and less because of the Hornets having shitty turnovers and boy have we seen some shitty turnovers this season. Hopefully the Hornets will be able to turn this game into some momentum because they’ll need it, the next four games are against the Bucks, Heat, Sixers, and Jazz.
-Shoutout Malik Monk, he’s been playing really well since he started getting minutes again. Hopefully we can get the ball in his hands for more than just 3’s. He probably should have got more time in the second half last night but I’m just happy to have him out there looking comfortable.
-Sabonis has terrible facial expressions that makes him look like a whiney bitch. I haven’t always felt this way about him, maybe it’s the hair.
-PJ should probably be a little more assertive when he literally cannot miss
-LaMelo played great despite missing all 6 of his threes. Hopefully that will keep him getting to the rim because he did that gracefully AF against the Pacers.
-Props will be back for next preview, my bad completely forgot.
