The Cleveland Cavaliers are on the second night of a back-to-back against the Charlotte Hornets. Cleveland returned from the All-Star break last night with a big win over the Brooklyn Nets. It’s been a good two months for the Cavs. They’ve turned the corner in 2026 and are back to being an elite team. Cleveland […]
This is a kind of glass half full win. The glass isn’t entirely full, but nor is it entirely empty. It’s definitely better than a close loss by a reverse of this score. Tonight the Rockets tied their season series with Charlotte. That’s pretty good, considering how well the Horncats have played lately and that […]

In last summer’s NBA Draft, Cooper Flagg went first to Dallas, Rutgers’ Dylan Harper second to San Antonio, Baylor’s V.J. Edgecombe third to Philly and Flagg’s Duke teammate Kon Knueppel fourth to Charlotte. In retrospect, San Antonio might have made a mistake. He would have been a great fit with Victor Wembanyama and more importantly, […]
We’re in the midst of the longest break of the NBA season. We saw Charlotte Hornets owner Rick Schnall hit a jumper in the celebrity all star game, Kon Knueppel score a couple buckets in the Rising Stars game, and then the very same Knueppel make it to the finals of both the 3-point contest […] The post Charlotte Hornets All Star break review first appeared on At The Hive .
On Christmas Eve, Baylor sent shockwaves around NCAA by signing 7-foot center James Nnaji, the No. 31 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft who never actually signed an NBA contract. His rights were originally owned by the Detroit Pistons before getting moved to Charlotte. But Nnaji spent time overseas in Spain and, most recently, […]

The Detroit Pistons visited the Charlotte Hornets on Monday night and to say things got a bit heated is an understatement.

All of us have a player we like more than others on the team. All of us probably have a player we don’t like as much on the team. Tonight’s game pretty much united both, as with the exception of the deep bench, and maybe, Durant’s night, everyone on the Rockets was fairly dismal. It […]

We had thought the dust had settled on the trade deadline when it was reported that the Charlotte Hornets had acquired Malaki Branham about 20 minutes before the deadline. But not so fast. Apparently Jeff Peterson snuck one more deal through that we didn’t find out about until an hour after the deadline had past.

Tillman, who was acquired from Memphis just months ahead of the 2024 championship, was not in the rotation but had become a vocal leader in the locker room and one of the team’s veteran players. He only appeared […]
We sort of wondered why the Charlotte Hornets traded for two point guards at the last minute, but now we know: they’re sending former Duke guard Tyus Jones to Dallas. This will give them first of all a very solid point guard for the moment and a really good backup when fellow former Blue Devil […]

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, Charlotte is flipping Tyus Jones to the Mavericks for guard Malaki Branham. According to Shams, the Mavericks have had interest in acquiring Jones. The Hornets were happy to oblige, but only after getting […] The post Hornets trading Tyus Jones to Mavericks for Malaki Branham first appeared on At The Hive .
