This was a great pass by LaMelo, and we hope to see more. What we also hope to see is a Hornets victory, and they’ll have their chance this Friday against the Boston Celtics.
Ultimately, the preseason doesn’t matter. What fans really are watching for is thr Hornets earning victories once the regular season begins.
