The Charlotte Hornets have not had a favorable schedule, on a current nine-game road trip, but have not made it easy on themselves either. The Hornets took a crushing 128-92 loss to the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday night,

That’s because the Warriors are hammering teams on the margins, ranking first in the NBA in points off turnovers — nearly five points clear of everyone at 29.3 per contest. They’re also tied for first in second-chance points (18.3), and their 52 points per game in the paint is nearly eight points better than their usual 45.4, which ranks 24th.
