The Charlotte Hornets’ 2021-22 NBA season concluded with a 43-39 record, marking a significant improvement over previous campaigns. Under head coach James Borrego, the Hornets showcased a promising young core led by LaMelo Ball, who continued to impress in his sophomore season with his playmaking and scoring abilities. The team also benefited from the scoring prowess of Miles Bridges, who emerged as a key offensive threat.
Despite their regular-season success, the Hornets faced disappointment in the Play-In Tournament, losing to the Atlanta Hawks and missing the playoffs. The season highlighted the Hornets’ potential but also underscored the need for defensive improvements and veteran leadership to advance further in the highly competitive Eastern Conference. The 2021-22 season set a foundation for future growth, with the team aiming to build on its youthful exuberance and develop into a consistent playoff contender. Overall, the season was a step forward in the Hornets’ rebuilding process.
