“What do you know about Queens?” … “It’s in New York somewhere.” … “It’s in Charlotte. That’s North Carolina.” I had this hilarious exchange with #Purdue’s Oscar Cluff talking about their first round opponent Queens. No matter where the Royals are from, the Boilers will be ready to go Friday 😂

NBA History@NBAHistory·5 Mar

The Charlotte Hornets have defeated each of the previous three NBA champions by 20 or more points this season. They beat the Oklahoma City Thunder 124-97 on January 5, the Denver Nuggets 110-87 on January 18, and the Boston Celtics 118-89 tonight. This makes the Hornets just the fourth team in NBA history to beat the last three reigning champions by 20+ points each in the same season — and the first to do so in over 60 years. They join: ▪️ 1958-59 Syracuse Nationals ▪️ 1956-57 Fort Wayne Pistons ▪️ 1949-50 Rochester Royals

NBA@NBA

🔥 THE HORNETS ARE ON FIRE 🔥 Charlotte has won 6 straight games, each by 15 or more points, tied for the 2nd-longest streak of its kind in NBA history!

nice, @kendallbaker! We need more @orioles fans in leadership roles in this country.

Nine years ago, I had an idea: What if I put SportsCenter in an email? That idea became Sports Internet (2017–18). Then Axios Sports (2019–23). Then Yahoo Sports AM. And along the way, it grew into something far bigger than I ever imagined. Now, it's time for the next chapter.

In his home debut, #Hornets guard Coby White put up 20 points off the bench, in 21 minutes. Asked about his new head coach - Charles Lee - after the game, he paused for a minute… Then said this.

this stuff is totally nuts and should be condemned by everybody. it’s also not uncommon in Texas. but it’s rarer to get from high profile candidacies like this

This is why @langstonwertzjr is the GOAT of Charlotte-area prep coverage and has been for decades. This "battle of the baselines" story (independent vs. traditional media) - I notice this every time I go to a high school hoops game. For @theobserver: charlotteobserver.com/sports/high-sc…
