The Hornets tied a franchise record by draining 26 three-pointers in the game. Kobe White led the bench with 27 points on 9 of 12 shooting, including 6 from deep plus 5 rebounds in just 18 minutes. Lamello Ball matched him with 6 threes of his own. White called this Hornets squad the most dangerous he's ever played on, praising their explosive runs that turn close games into blowouts. They led by as much as 46 points against the Kings and have gone 12 wins and three losses since the All-Star break. Charlotte brought in the 26-year-old White from the Chicago Bulls back in February and he's been a perfect fit. In 12 games, he's averaging 15.9 points on over 40% from 3, with 3.3 rebounds and 3.6.
