The Charlotte Hornets continued their dominance with a 117-90 win over the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday night, becoming the only team in the NBA this season to record five consecutive wins by at least 15 points.
According to ClutchPoints, Charlotte’s latest setback capped a remarkable string of decisive wins during her recent surge. The Hornets have defeated five straight opponents by double-digit margins of at least 15 points, a feat no other team in the league has accomplished during the 2025–26 season.
The run included a 27-point win over the Mavericks, as well as 16-point wins against the Portland Trail Blazers, 24 points over the Indiana Pacers, 32 points against the Chicago Bulls, and 17 points against the Washington Wizards.
Charlotte’s recent success marks a dramatic change from earlier in the season. The Hornets were 13–25 after a close 114–112 loss to Indiana on January 8, a point that proved to be a turning point for the team.
Since that loss, Charlotte has improved in the standings, improving to 31–31 and climbing to ninth place in the Eastern Conference. Climbing back to the .500 mark represents the franchise’s first return to an even record since the opening week of the season, when the Hornets started 2–2 before a 144–117 loss to the Miami Heat on October 28.

Hornets look to extend streak of dominance against Celtics
The recent streak has been fueled by strong defense and balanced scoring, which has allowed Charlotte to consistently pull away from opponents and maintain control in the second half of games. The Hornets’ ability to string together several solid wins in a row has established them as one of the hottest teams in the league entering the final stretch of the regular season.
Charlotte will look to build on its momentum Wednesday night when it travels to face the Boston Celtics at TD Garden. Tipoff is scheduled for 7:30 pm ET.
Boston enters the matchup with momentum. The Celtics (41-20) have won three straight games, including a 108-81 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday night in Giannis Antetokounmpo’s return from a lengthy calf injury.
With both teams on winning streaks, Wednesday’s contest will give Charlotte another chance to extend its historic win streak, as well as continue its lead in the Eastern Conference standings.
