The Hornets began their five-game road trip out west on Saturday night and couldn’t have gotten off to a better start; they demolished the Utah Jazz 150-95. This is the Hornets’ largest road win in franchise history and second largest win in franchise history, only behind their 140-79 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies in 2018.

While it was against the 13-25 Utah Jazz, it’s still impressive to win a game by 55 points, especially on the road. Now, with this game behind Charlotte and four more road games left on this trip, will this win serve to be a building block for the Hornets going forward, or just a night where everything went right for Charlotte? How sustainable are some of the game results?

What You Need To Know: Nine Players Scored In Double Figures

The offensive output for Charlotte on Saturday was spread out; everyone got to eat. It started with the core trio, and all three of LaMelo Ball, Brandon Miller, and Kon Knueppel scored in double figures in the first half to lead the charge. The Hornets built a 47-point lead in the first half alone. Miles Bridges was the fourth player in the first half to score over double figures as he poured in 11 points.

While the core did their jobs in the first half, the rest of the roster didn’t disappoint in the second half, as the bench unit got most of the minutes after halftime. The game turned into garbage time minutes towards the end of the third quarter, but it’s still impressive that the bench unit didn’t let up and kept the Jazz from building anything throughout the rest of the game.

The rest of the roster to score double digits were Moussa Diabaté, rookie center Ryan Kalkbrenner (who returned to action after missing the last 10 games due to injury), Collin Sexton (who was making his return to Utah after being traded away this past offseason), and two guards who don’t always get the biggest opportunities but seem ready when they get them: Josh Green and Tre Mann.

Ultimately, the Hornets can’t rely on nine players to score double figures consistently, but it was encouraging to see some of the role players come in and keep their foot on Utah’s neck for the second half. It shows that even in more competitive games, they can come in and provide while guys like Ball and Knueppel are on the bench.

Before You Go: Give Tre Mann More Minutes

Tre Mann scored 20 points in the fourth quarter alone. This is a huge building block for Mann; most Hornets fans want to see him get more opportunities, but due to his on and off availability from injuries, he hasn’t always found his spot in the rotation. The talent has never been in question for Mann, a six-foot-four guard who can create off the dribble and is more athletic than most get to see. Mann has all the tools to be an ultra-productive piece on any NBA roster, but he just has to find consistency in the rotation.

The Hornets have one of, if not the best, offenses in the NBA when fully healthy: their offensive rating exceeds 130, which would be the best in the league. The Hornets have struggled with health issues for years, with Ball and Miller missing significant portions of the season, and this has continued for both of them this year.

So, is the team staying fully healthy and sustainable? Most Hornets fans would say no, with good reason ... but the roster is fully healthy right now, and if they can maintain this, they can score against anyone.
