CHARLOTTE \u2014 The Charlotte Hornets enter the offseason still trying to snap a decade-long playoff drought. <\/p>\n

The Hornets finished with a winning record for the first time since 2022. <\/p>\n

Their season ended Friday with a blowout loss to the Orlando Magic. <\/p>\n

The team says their progress this year takes some of the sting out of how it ended. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt makes me proud because I saw the work that went in to them being able to change the narrative,\u201d said Jeff Peterson, the executive vice president of basketball operations. \u201cIt\u2019s not like someone made a wish and this happened. There\u2019s just so many hours that are put into their craft on a daily basis, starting back in the summer.\u201d <\/p>\n

Hornets players and staff said becoming a more physical team will be a point of emphasis this offseason. <\/p>\n
