The Charlotte Hornets are starting to find their rhythm as their key players, including LaMelo Ball, Brandon Miller, Josh Green, Miles Bridges, and Mark Williams, have seen increased time together on the court. With injuries less of a concern lately, the team has improved their performance, winning two of their last three games.
Miles Bridges expressed optimism about the team's potential, citing a commitment to defense that has enhanced their overall game. Their offensive rating has jumped from 114.6 to 117.8, while their defensive rating has decreased from 122.0 to 111.7 in recent games. This five-man unit has now accumulated significant playing time together, which is fostering better teamwork and results on the floor.
Bridges emphasized the importance of maintaining health for the continued success of their starting five. Although the bench still struggles to contribute consistently, the core group is beginning to gel, and their increased time on the court promises to lead to more victories.
