The Charlotte Hornets are putting together one of the most impressive runs in franchise history. After a dominant January, Charlotte finishes the month with an 11–6 record, the No. 1 offense in the league, and the top overall net rating.
That surge includes statement wins over playoff-level competition, knocking off teams like the Thunder, Spurs, Nuggets, Lakers, Sixers, and Magic. Night after night, the Hornets have paired efficient scoring with improved defensive execution, turning heads across the league.
The hot stretch has now grown into a six-game winning streak, marking the first time Charlotte has won that many games in a row since March of 2016. It’s a rare level of sustained success for a franchise that has often struggled to find consistency.
With momentum on their side and confidence clearly building, the Hornets are suddenly playing with swagger and purpose. January didn’t just boost their record — it signaled that this group may be capable of far more than expected as the season moves forward.
