108. Long-Awaited Rival

After the game, the Hornets players huddled together in celebration, while the fans in the arena erupted into cheers, shouting "Jack," "Wallace," "Felton," "Brezec."

The Knight was the best team the Hornets had beat this season!

The TV commentators said this was the first time the Hornets had a winning percentage of 50% in a single month since their founding, with 8 wins and 8 losses. The camera swept over the audience where Hornets fans were extremely excited.

The game's high viewership left many viewers puzzled in front of their televisions. What's so special about an 8-8 record for the month? Worth a special mention by the commentators? Were Hornets fans really that excited?

At that moment, the broadcast displayed the time it took for the last 20 years' new NBA teams to achieve a .500 winning percentage for a month.

The fastest was the Magic who, after drafting O'Neal, reached their first monthly .500 record in the '92-'93 season, their fourth season.
