The Charlotte Hornets are one of the most impressive teams in recent weeks. They just won their eighth game in a row with a 109-99 result against the Houston Rockets.
This is the longest active winning streak in the league, tied with the New York Knicks. Considering the Hornets are seen as the weaker team compared to the Knicks, their streak is much more impressive.
Lee sees the big picture with the Hornets' streak
As the Hornets continue their success, they are being celebrated as a team on the rise. They deserve that kind of praise because they are playing amazing basketball at the moment.
Their offense is humming with LaMelo Ball leading the way, with Kon Knueppel and Brandon Miller also helping him. This is one of the most well-rounded teams in the league at the moment.

Amid this superb winning streak, which is also the longest in franchise history, head coach Charles Lee is staying level-headed. Of course, he is enjoying every bit of the team's success.
However, he is also looking at the bigger picture and seeing that the Hornets can do much better than this moving forward. That is a good mindset to have, especially with the Hornets' potential finally being showcased recently.
"It feels good, but we all understand there's still a lot more work to be done. It's something the fans should be happy about, they should be proud of it," Lee said in his post-game interview after the win over Houston.
"They should see the progress that this team is making, this organization is making... This group comes out every night wanting to compete, and they want to compete for themselves and for the city."
As the Hornets continue on this path, they are developing good habits in preparation for a solid run in the future. They might not make the Playoffs this season, but with this core, they could surprise a lot of people next season.
