Charlotte coach James Borrego: 'I've been coming to this arena for 20 years, and I've never seen a train stop before the game.'

“I’ve never seen that,” Hornets coach James Borrego said. I have no idea,” Borrego said. Both stations were torn down decades ago, but many of the tracks that remain are still frequented by freight trains running near the heart of downtown Atlanta.

The Charlotte Hornets travel to Atlanta to meet with the Hawks in the play-in tournament Wednesday at 7 p.m..

The Hornets haven’t made the playoffs since 2016. The Atlanta Hawks are among the several teams that are trying to secure a spot in the playoffs. Milwaukee went on to win the NBA Championship for the 2020-21 season. Young was the spark to this Atlanta team that led the Hawks to their first playoff spot last season. Young finished the regular season fourth in the NBA in scoring and assists. Before playoff series begins, the league’s newly-added play-in tournament is going on with the last couple of games wrapping up this week.

The Charlotte Hornets were salty after a stalled train forced them to walk from their bus to Wednesday's play-in game against the Atlanta Hawks.

El propio jugador no vería con malos ojos un cambio de aires aunque su principal objetivo será el recuperarse por completo aprovechando el periodo estival. Durante su ausencia, LaMelo Ball ha emergido como potencial estrella de los Charlotte Hornets y el principal organizador de la ofensiva del equipo. Regresó el 2 de abril coincidiendo con un encuentro contra los Philladelphia 76ers, pero recayó de sus molestias en el tobillo izquierdo, lo que vuelve a poner en duda su durabilidad.

Miles Bridges took "full responsibility" for hitting the 16-year-old girl with his mouthpiece, saying: "I let my temper get the best of me.

"I was upset about a call, a couple of calls really,'' he said. So that was definitely wrong, a lot of emotions and hopefully I can get in contact with the young girl and sincerely apologize to her and do something nice for her, but that's definitely on me." "I was aiming for the guy that was screaming at me and it hit a little girl," Bridges said.

Charlotte Hornets superstar point guard joined truly elite company, accomplishing something that only he and LeBron James ever have.

LaMelo burst onto the scene with a fantastic rookie season with the Hornts. The youngest brother, LiAngelo Ball, is currently in the NBA’s G League. Some people have believed that he might actually be the most talented of all three. LaMelo Ball is the middle of three brothers, all of whom have NBA aspirations. In just the Hornets point guard’s second season, Ball averaged 20.1 points, 7.6 assists and 6.7 rebounds per game.

And it looks like Atlanta's starters are done for the night. Now, the goal is to use this summer to get better." Thank you for your unwavering support, Buzz City. The future is bright. The Hawks got easy dribble penetration for most of the first half, and they used it to kick the ball out to shooters.

Charlotte Hornets vs Atlanta Hawks game score and recap from the NBA play-in tournament. Trae Young and Hawks beat LaMelo Ball and the Hornets 132-103.

They did a good job of moving the ball and they made shots. When Cody Martin was in the game, Borrego had him guarding Young at times and he did a noteworthy job of bottling the Hawks’ star point guard as much as possible. When you put two guys and you blitz the pick-and-roll, you are going to give up something somewhere. But even with Young’s sluggish offense, the Hawks still led by eight points at halftime and that had to be somewhat discouraging. I was aiming for the guy that was screaming at me and it hit a little girl. “We didn’t have much rhythm with the starters or the bench,” coach James Borrego said. So Williams quickly hit Bridges with another technical and threw him out of the game, which ticked Bridges off. Like their starting counterparts, the reserves struggled offensively and couldn’t cut into their hefty deficit. Their reserves often injected them with some energy and infused the offense. They gave the Hawks plenty of room to shoot and were also poor on the interior, yielding a double-double to Clint Capella before halftime. It was a worse result than a year ago when the Hornets lost by 27 in Indiana. “So we are not happy, but at the same time we can’t do nothing about it.

The frustration was a tribute to how well Hunter and the Hawks were playing on both ends. "When we get the lead, we get, like coach [sometimes] says, passive," Capela said. "I normally don't let my emotions get the best of me," he said. "If both of them play good on defense, they'll be a tough out," Bridges said. Young made three of 13 field goal attempts in the first half and finished 8-for-24. We should be ready when we go to Cleveland."

As great as Michael Jordan was as a basketball player, MJ the team owner just isn't enough to turn things around for the Charlotte Hornets.

They did show improvements this 2021-22, but for any NBA team, there isn’t anything to celebrate unless it’s the Larry O’Brien trophy. They lost to the Indiana Pacers by 27 points in 2020-21, and this time, they bowed down to the Atlanta Hawks by 29 despite massively improving from their previous record. Even Jordan himself couldn’t end a playoff drought that now spans two decades, per CBS Sports.

I just feel like the work starts now, just getting in the gym.” “We need inside presence and we need to make smart decisions on offense. They have the main pieces like Bridges, who’ll be a restricted free agent in the offseason, and Ball. “Just defense, decision-making,” Bridges said. It’s just about work now to take the next step.” The Hornets are done for the season, sent back to Charlotte in numbing fashion rather than heading off to Cleveland to face the Cavaliers on Friday with the Eastern Conference’s eighth seed and a first-round series with Miami on the line.

Miles Bridges' frustrations boiled over late in the Hornets' blowout loss when he hit a young fan with his mouthpiece after being ejected.

"Somebody get me in contact with the young lady," Bridges wrote. It was definitely the wrong thing to do." Bridges then swung his arm at the fan's arm and lost his mouthpiece, which hit a girl standing nearby in the shoulder and face.

The Atlanta Hawks dominated the Charlotte Hornets the entire game on Wednesday night. The final score was 132-103.

In the press conference, Bridges explained himself, “I was aiming for the guy that was screaming at me and it hit a little girl. They will be traveling to Cleveland to take on the Cavaliers tomorrow night at 7:30. He challenged a layup, and the referee called a foul. The fan was a 16-year-old girl. Additionally, a significant flaw in the Hornets’ defense was not playing man on man. As he was leaving the court, Bridges threw his mouthpiece toward a fan.

After the Charlotte Hornets' team bus was delayed by a train in Atlanta, they were forced to take an evening stroll.

It’s also the pictionary definition of a “first-world problem”: A bunch of multi-millionaires forced to walk a few blocks to their basketball game, potentially scuffing their Gucci slides in the process. On Wednesday night, they were blown out 132-103 by the Atlanta Hawks in the Eastern Conference’s 9-10 play-in game, sending everyone to the beach for the foreseeable future. The Charlotte Hornets’ season is over.
