Hornets vs Clippers

The Hornets Story
The New Orleans Hornets began their journey as a League Franchise during the 1988–89 NBA season . The team was then based in Charlotte and was called the Charlotte Hornets . They played their first fourteen seasons at the Charlotte Coliseum as their home ground.
The driving force behind the team's formation was George Shinn who did his best to bring a league team to Charlotte . His dream came true with the expansion strategy of the NBA.
The team got its name from the city, which was qualified as "a veritable nest of hornets" by a British commander due to the city's stern resistance during the revolutionary war against its occupation.
Larry Johnson , Alonzo Mourning , Muggsy Bogues and Glen Rice were the key players of the Charlotte Hornets . They qualified for the playoff three times during their stint in Charlotte - 1992–93 , 1996–97 and 1997–98 .
