The Hornets opened their 2024-25 season, with a dramatic win over the Rockets 110-105, after they erased an 18-point deficit, to win their 4th straight season opener. While LaMelo Ball was the star of the show, he got help in the form of Tre Mann, who added 24 points, off the bench in a way that is already winning over the hearts and minds of Hornets fans, young and old. Mann, who was acquired by Charlotte last year during the trade deadline, has quickly carved out a role off the bench, that has added depth to the backcourt, and provides an insurance blanket, in case LaMelo Ball were to miss time.

Earlier this morning, Mann joined the Mac & Bone Show on WFNZ to talk about Wednesday’s comeback win, his performance off the bench, how Allen Iverson has inspired his game on the floor, his drip off of it, and more.
You can listen to the Mac & Bone Show (Charlotte’s #1 morning show), every weekday morning from 6-10 AM, on Sports radio 92.7 WFNZ, and the WFNZ app.
