You can argue that for the last 2 weeks of the month of March the Charlotte Hornets have been one of if not the hottest team in the NBA.  They had won 7 of their last 8 games heading into Monday nights matchup against the Denver Nuggets and playing some of he best basketball they’ve played all year.  In a great contest the hornets a close one to the joker Nikola Jokic and the nuggets.  Jokic had a triple double 26 points 19 rebounds and 11 assists and showed why he is in the talks for MVP of the league this season.

2 Hornets players had double doubles Miles Bridges had 27 points and 11 boards LaMelo Ball had 22 points and 11 assists.  The reigning rookie of the year and all star has stepped his game up tremendously to help the hornets during their hot streak.

Do you think the Hornets can make a run in the playoffs?
