The parity between the top and bottom of the NBA in 2024-25 is as lopsided as it’s ever been. Certain teams continuously cannot get over the hump.

Starting a two-game road trip with the threat of an eight-game losing streak looming, the Brooklyn Nets needed to come out swinging against a battered Charlotte Hornets squad. Thankfully, they did, securing a 104-83 win at the Spectrum Center.
