A couple more stats from last night’s win:
1. The Hornets have won back-to-back road games against the Lakers for the first time since 2017-18. ([Source](https://www.sports-reference.com/stathead/tiny/QzBO9/reddit))
2. Their 18-point win is their second-largest on the road against the Lakers. ([Source](https://www.sports-reference.com/stathead/tiny/6qdkX/reddit))
So specific a stat
You’re saying 2017 like it’s a long time ago
Wait
Zo and LaMelo are the only two not in their prime here (or in Kemba’s case, a couple of months away). Prime in the NBA is usually regarded as 27-32 years of age.
It’s crazy that he’s only 24.
