(10-22). Previous: . Charlotte Hornets. 24. team. 170. Oh, Hornets. Just when we thought you were bringing back the buzz with Lance Stephenson on the sidelines, you go and drop three straight, including a disheartening overtime loss at home against the Milwaukee Bucks last night. None of the teams they lost to were bad per se, but if Charlotte wants to climb back into the playoff picture, they’ll need to start beating good teams. <p> </p> <p>As their 4-14 record against teams at .500 or above suggests, the Hornets still don’t know how to do that. Kemba Walker has been playing lights out lately on the offensive end, including a 42-point flurry against the Orlando Magic, but it still hasn’t been enough to get this bafflingly bad team back in the win column.</p>
