Kemba scores 27: Gerald Henderson adds 20 to lead Hornets to 4th straight win

Coming into the season, I thought the Hornets would be a playoff team. There was a possibly that if the Wizards didn't win the Southeast Division, that I would have picked the Hornets ( and I still almost want to call them the Bobcats). When they were 6-19, I started thinking why not stink up the joint, and try and land one of the top prospects in the 2015 NBA Draft.  Coming into this game with a three game winning streak at 9-19,  the Hornets took on the Milwaukee Bucks and defeated the Bucks 108-101, for their fourth straight victory.  Kemba Walker lead the way for the Hornest with 27 points and 4 assists. Gerald Henderson added 20 points and 4 assists.  Here are the stats for each team.

The Charlotte Hornets trail the Brooklyn Nets by 3 games for the 8th seed.  I think that if this team can find a way to continue to put some wins together, they will catch Brooklyn.  I thought Lance Stephenson would have fit in well here, but the problem I see now is both Kemba Walker and Lance Stephenson want the ball in their hands.  What are your thoughts on this win?  Talk to me about this 4 game winning streak by sending me your comments.
