“Luka Doncic and the Mavericks woke up and chose violence!”: NBA Twitter trolls Michael Jordan’s Hornets after suffering a horrendous 68-point preseason loss

Defeating the Charlotte Hornets 127-59, Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks handed LaMelo Ball and co. the largest preseason loss between two NBA teams.

On Wednesday night, we witnessed something incredible. Luka Doncic and his Dallas Mavericks handed the Charlotte Hornets a dreadful 68-point loss, pulverizing them 127-59, at the Spectrum Center in North Carolina, giving the 8,500+ fans in attendance a game-of-a-lifetime.

After grabbing the lead with Kristaps Porzingis’ 3-point shot in the very first minute of the game, the Mavs never trailed the Hornets. And scored more points (61) in a half, than LaMelo Ball and co. scored in 4 whole quarters.

With this embarrassing 68-point loss, Dallas has now handed Charlotte the largest preseason defeat between two NBA teams. And the second-largest preseason loss. The first? James Harden’s 2019 Houston Rockets defeating the Shanghai Sharks 140-71 (69-point difference).

As soon as the game ended, NBA Twitter brought out their most ruthless jokes and trolled the Hornets for suffering such a disastrous loss.

Calling Michael Jordan’s team’s performance poor would be an understatement. Agreed it’s only the preseason, but suffering such a monumental loss just days prior to the commencement of the regular season is a matter of grave concern.
