The Charlotte Hornets franchise was founded in 1988, but they never started a season 3-0 until they won their third straight game over the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday, 111-95.

It’s only three games into the 2021-22 season, but it’s safe to say the foul-baiting technique that Brooklyn Nets star James Harden has mastered over the years is officially dead–or at least nearing absolute extinction.
