Game preview: Charlotte Hornets return home to face KAT, Brunson, and the red-hot New York Knicks
Jalen Brunson, Karl Anthony-Towns, and the New York Knicks come rolling into town with a 10-6 record and one of the league's premier offensive attacks. Heading into tonight's matchup, the Knicks rank third in offensive efficiency ( per Cleaning the Glass ), scoring a blistering 122.0 points per 100 possessions.
The Knicks have not drafted well over the last few years. They’ve had limited, blah draft positioning as of late due to all the trades they’ve made, but some good players were selected after New York was on the board, particularly in the 2024 draft.
For the first month of the season, Karl-Anthony Towns was in a shooting slump so profound you’d think he was aiming with his eyes closed. Knicks fans, a notoriously patient bunch (just kidding), were getting restless.
Miller posted 18 points (5-12 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, three assists and two steals over 28 minutes during the Hornets ' 129-101 loss to the Knicks on Wednesday.
Non-competitive defense and poor process on offense led to Charlotte getting ran out of the gym in the second period. The Hornets' best offense in the second quarter involved Tre Mann bailing his teammates out at the end of the shot clock, but you can't build the entire plane out of that.
The New York Knicks are heading into Thanksgiving on a high note. Fresh off a 113-100 win over their crosstown rival, the Brooklyn Nets, on Monday, the New York Knicks headed to North Carolina looking to keep their NBA Cup hopes alive.
Both the New York Knicks and Charlotte Hornets may be without multiple key players in Wednesday night's matchup.
