Crowd support has Gordon Hayward, Hornets excited: ‘I think they can see the potential we have’

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Even with all the struggles and an injury list that rivals the length of an income tax form, the patrons haven’t stop showing up at the Spectrum Center during the past few months.

Although the Charlotte Hornets didn’t add to their impressive sellout streak on Sunday — falling short of the mark with an announced crowd of 16,052 witnessing a 128-108 loss to Toronto — it can’t detract from an unexpected impressive feat. In amassing 15 sellouts, the Hornets have already surpassed their mark for capacity crowds in a single season since pro basketball returned to the city in 2004-05.

The feat that hasn’t gone unnoticed, either.
