Despite taking a loss to Stephen Curry and the Warriors, LaMelo Ball still feels optimistic about the Hornets' future.

Since the Golden State Warriors acquired six-time All-Star forward Jimmy Butler, superstar point guard Steph Curry has taken his game to the next level. The Warriors were struggling on the season, but the new dynamic duo has revived the championship hopefuls completely.

Jimmy Butler has injected life into the Warriors, and they have the ability to blow Charlotte out of the gym. The Golden State Warriors need a strong stretch run to avoid the Western Conference Play-In, and a visit to the Charlotte Hornets tonight should help pad their win total.
