The Hornets have a potent offense, top 3 in many offensive factors such as points per game, 3PM, 3P%, APG, points in the paint, and pace. They also play the passing lane a lot, leading to steals and fast break points.
They're #6 in terms of offensive ratings but also in the bottom 6 defensively resulting in a mostly neutral NETRTG (15th). They have 5 guys averaging in double figures in points, so they have a lot of different offensive options that can hurt you.
They have 7 guys on their roster who are shooting 3s better than 37%. Rozier and Bridges are having a rough start shooting the ball but they do put up a lot of them and can get really, really hot if left open. Bridges is having a career year and can hurt you in a lot of ways.
We wanna defend the 3pt line and not be careless with the ball. Their guards are kinda like ours, with multiple of them averaging at least 1 steal per game. If we turn the ball over like we did vs Miami AND give up open 3s, it's gonna be a long night.
