The Charlotte Hornets secured a commanding 123-92 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans, marking their second game of a franchise-record nine-game home stand. Seth Curry played a pivotal role in the win, contributing significantly off the bench. Since Christmas, Curry has averaged 9.3 points per game, shooting an impressive 60% from the field and 100% from the free throw line. In this game, he scored 16 points, including four three-pointers, instigating a surge that helped the Hornets build and maintain a substantial lead.
Entering the game when the Hornets were trailing 12-9, Curry quickly made an impact with a long-range three-pointer that turned the tide. His presence not only boosted the score but also appeared to ignite the rest of the team; after his initial shots, the Hornets went on to shoot four consecutive three-pointers without a miss. In the third quarter, as the Pelicans attempted to narrow the gap, Curry returned to the game and helped facilitate a 12-0 run that extended their lead from 13 to 25, solidifying Charlotte's authority over the match.
