#Hornets LaMelo Ball on his desire to play, after battling injury the past few seasons

Charlotte native Grant Williams on what the #Hornets need:

“Our talent is not the issue. It’s being ready to perform.”

“It’s difficult to win if you don’t have everyone available.”

High praise for Steve Clifford from
Cody Martin.

“He’s hard on us, but for the right reasons,” he said.

“That will be one of the regrets in my career. That I didn’t get to play for him
more.” #Hornets

Miles Bridges said his desire to stay in Charlotte hasn’t changed, adding…

He grew up here.

Has been through a lot here.

Says the #Hornets “stayed down with me — they didn’t have to.”

Another notch on the belt for #Hornets rook Brandon Miller…

Earlier tonight, he hit 3-pointer no. 176, passing Saddiq Bey (175) for the fourth-most by a rookie in #NBA history.

It's Luka Doncic with 21 points...

In the first quarter. It's 36-18 #Mavs , after one.

Tonight also marks the home finale for Hornets head coach Steve Clifford — who’ll transition into a front office role after the season.

“It’s important to me, it’s important to our owners, it’s important to management and the players too, that we want to finish strong,” he said.

Back to back to back….
