The Hornets struggled playing around .500 basketball in the first half of the regular season, holding a 23–25 record at the All-Star break.^[8]Jamal Mashburn only played just 40 games due to a lower abdominal strain,^[9]^[10]^[11] and was replaced with second-year forwardLee Nailon as the team's starting small forward. Despite losing Mashburn, the Hornets posted a 7-game winning streak in March, and finished in second place in theCentral Division with a 44–38 record, earning the fourth seed in theEastern Conference, and qualifying for their seventhNBA playoff appearance.^[12]

Mashburn averaged 21.5 points, 6.1 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game, whileBaron Davis continued to show improvement, averaging 18.1 points, 8.5 assists and 2.1 steals per game, andDavid Wesley provided the team with 14.2 points and 3.5 assists per game. In addition,Elden Campbell contributed 13.9 points, 6.9 rebounds and 1.8 blocks per game, while Nailon provided with 10.8 points per game, andP.J. Brown averaged 8.4 points and 9.8 rebounds per game. Off the bench, second-year centerJamaal Magloire averaged 8.5 points and 5.6 rebounds per game, while Augmon contributed 4.6 points per game, and Lynch provided with 3.8 points and 4.1 rebounds per game.^[13]

During theNBA All-Star weekend at theFirst Union Center inPhiladelphia, Pennsylvania, Davis was selected for the2002 NBA All-Star Game, as a member of the Eastern Conference All-Star team; it was his first ever All-Star appearance.^[14]^[15]^[16] Meanwhile, Nailon was selected for theNBA Rookie Challenge Game, as a member of the Sophomores team.^[17]^[18]

The Hornets defeated theOrlando Magic, 3–1 in the Eastern Conference First Round of the2002 NBA playoffs,^[19]^[20]^[21] but lost 4–1 in the Eastern Conference Semi-finals to the top-seededNew Jersey Nets.^[22]^[23]^[24] The Nets would go on to reach theNBA Finals for the first time, but would lose to the 2-time defending NBA championLos Angeles Lakers in four straight games.^[25]^[26]^[27] Following the season, Nailon and Bullard were both released to free agency.

This was also the team's final season inCharlotte, North Carolina, as the Hornets relocated toNew Orleans,Louisiana, and became theNew Orleans Hornets next season;^[28]^[29]^[30] other city candidates for the team's relocation includedLouisville, Kentucky,Norfolk, Virginia,St. Louis, Missouri andAnaheim, California.^[31]^[32]^[33] The Hornets also finished in last place in home-game attendance during the regular season, with an attendance of 462,738 at theCharlotte Coliseum, which was 29th in the league,^[13]^[34] plus posting a better 23–18 road record than their 21–20 record at home;^[35]^[29] the Hornets' low attendance was a stark contrast to their earlier years in Charlotte, where they led the league in home-game attendance eight times in the franchise's first nine seasons in the NBA (their1988–89 inaugural season, and the1990–91 to1996–97 seasons).

The city of Charlotte would return to the NBA two seasons later with the expansionCharlotte Bobcats, who began play in the2004–05 season; that franchise changed its name to the "Hornets" in 2014 after the original franchise renamed itself the "Pelicans", and also reclaimed the original Hornets' history from 1988 to 2002. As a result, the Hornets are now reckoned as having suspended operations after this season before returning as the Bobcats in 2004.
