Description
The Charlotte Hornets, led by LaMelo Ball and rookie Kon Knueppel, secured a play-in spot in the 2025-26 season with a 44-38 record, their seventh-best ever. This marks their second playoff appearance in five years. In 2016, they finished 48-34, finishing 6th in the East, with Kemba Walker leading the charge. They faced the Miami Heat in a seven-game series, with Walker and the team pushing defenses hard. However, Miami won the last two games, including a 33-point blowout in game seven. Now, with Ball and Knueppel, the Hornets aim to build on their history and chase deeper playoff runs.
