About this episode
The Charlotte Hornets didn't just beat the Utah Jazz; they obliterated them in a historic 150-95 victory. We look at the record-breaking night that saw Charlotte attempt the most three-pointers in franchise history and place nine players in double figures. Tre Mann exploded for 20 points in the fourth quarter alone, reminding everyone of his scoring punch, while Grant Williams made his long-awaited return to the court, immediately impacting the game with his shooting and defensive communication.With the team finally healthy, the offense looks legitimate, ranking among the league's best over the last two weeks. We discuss how the return of key pieces like Williams and the steady play of Moussa Diabate are stabilizing the rotation. Is this offensive surge sustainable as the team heads to Los Angeles to face the Clippers?Finally, we address the noise surrounding LaMelo Ball. From "rumor rankings" to text messages read on national television, speculation about the star guard's future is ramping up. We analyze why the idea of the Hornets tanking his value is nonsensical and why keeping the All-Star guard remains the franchise's best path forward.Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… ? https://linktr.ee/lockedonhornetsBecome an official member of the Locked On Hornets Sicko Brigade and get Hornets news, rumors and pictures of Byron Mullens sent directly to your phone via Subtext (14 Day Free Trial): https://joinsubtext.com/lockedonhornetsLocked On NBA League-Wide: Every Team, Fantasy, Draft, WNBA & More ? https://linktr.ee/LockedOnNBAGet Doug's gamenotes, special articles and a podcast on Hornets history at the Every Hornets Boxscore substack: everyhornetsboxscore.comGet more Walker on Wes and Walker 12-3pm on WFNZ 92.7 FM?
