Hornets Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)
The Hornets were the highest-scoring team in the NBA through three
games, but since then they have been one of the worst shooting teams
in the league.
They have lost four of their last six games and have not shot as
high as 45 percent in any of those games.
Turnovers have also been an issue, although they have committed
just 17 in the last two games after committing that many during a loss
to the Lakers.
"Some of the turnovers are happening because we're passing up good
shots," coach Byron Scott said. "We'll miss a few shots, then we get tentative and pass on a good shot and try to move into a better position and turn the ball over." After averaging 107 points in their first three games, the Hornets...
