#2 Hornets' poor three-point shooting

The Hornets only shot 18.8 % from the three-point land

Charlotte Hornets' three-point stats: 6-for-32 (18.8%)

Dallas Mavericks' three-point stats: 18-for-45 (40.0%)

The Hornets are one of the top shooting teams in the league this season, knocking them down at 35.8% from the field. Nicolas Batum's shooting has been sort of a revelation for this team this season, with the 30-year-old shooting at 40.2% from distance.

Last night, while Batum shot 2-for-3 from long range, no one else tasted success from the three-point line. Their All-Star Kemba Walker went 0-for-5, and the 23-year-old guard Devonte' Graham shot 2-for-8.

However, the biggest disappointment was the bench's shooting as they combined for 0-for-13 from the three-point line. On a night when the Mavericks went 18-for-45 and shot at 40.0 percentage, the Hornets could not answer in return.
