Era: Late Hornets (1996-2002). Season/Game: 1996-97, Charlotte Hornets at Denver NuggetsThe BoxscoreOur random boxscore generator, the Bees Machines, delivers an absolute rare gem of an NBA contest.

Era: Early Hornets (1988-1995). Season/Game: 1993-94, Charlotte Hornets vs. Indiana PacersA year after the Hornets won their first playoff series in franchise history in dramatic fashion, the Hive was alive with hope. The entire core of Alonzo Mourning, Larry Johnson, Muggsy Bogues and Dell Curry was back and the spectre of Michael Jordan was lifted from the Eastern Conference. The only thing that could hold them back is exactly what did, injuries. Both Larry Johnson and Alonzo Mourning missed serious time and it opened up other opportunities for players like Eddie Johnson and our guest today Marty Conlon. Marty gives us a window into a Hornets team that was revolutionizing NBA offense but who's season was teetering dangerously on the edge.A video version of this podcast where you can follow us along our many boxscore rabbit holes can be found at everyhornetsboxscore.com.Every Hornets Boxscore is a reader-supported publication.

Season/Game: 2010-11, Charlotte Bobcats vs Phoenix SunsThe 2010-11 Charlotte Bobcats season was full of promise off a playoff appearance. The team finally had some talent.
