Coby White praised the Charlotte Hornets' explosive offense after their dominant win over the Sacramento Kings, saying the team is more dangerous than his former Chicago Bulls squads.
The Charlotte Hornets continued their strong run with a commanding 134-90 victory over the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday night, extending their winning streak to four games and further improving their position in the Eastern Conference race.
One of the key voices after the game was guard Coby White, who has quickly become an important scoring option since arriving from the Chicago Bulls at the trade deadline.
White highlighted the team's ability to shift momentum quickly and turn close games into comfortable leads, saying that Charlotte is the most dangerous team he's ever been on.
"I sit back, and I think about it, a lot of it. Being on a team this dangerous, I've never been on a team this dangerous to the point where it could be a back-and-forth game, then you hit one run, and you look up, and you're up 20, and then you're up 30," he said in a post-game press conference. "I think the main thing for me is like we're explosive, but I think we're starting to kind of not figure out, but hold those leads when you do get them and continue to build upon. That's an impressive thing for me too."
White played a big role in the blowout, delivering one of his most efficient outings since joining Charlotte. He finished with 27 points, 5 rebounds, and 1 assist in just 18 minutes off the bench.
His shooting was highly efficient, going 9-for-12 from the field and 6-for-8 from three-point range, along with a perfect 3-for-3 from the free-throw line.
Since landing in Charlotte, the 26-year-old guard has provided a consistent scoring boost to the second unit. Through 12 games with the Hornets, White is averaging 15.9 points, 3.6 assists and 3.3 rebounds per game, while shooting 45.9 percent from the field and 40.3 percent from beyond the arc in under 20 minutes per contest.
