In jubilation with the Hornets players, coach Lee did a cartwheel in the locker room.
Brandon Miller’s 26 points led six Hornets players in double figures, including Colin Sexton’s 21 points, including a perfect 5-for-5 from deep, LaMelo Ball (16 points), and Miles Bridges (14 points). Charlotte is now only six games under .500, improving to a 22-28 record in the regular season.
Miller warned everyone about the Hornets’ current rise. For Miller, a healthy roster was critical to the Hornets’ success, including the ability to play alongside Ball and Bridges, he said, per Hornets Reddit’s X (formerly Twitter).

“I’ve been saying it for a long time now… when he’s healthy, it could be a dangerous season for any team that steps on the floor with us. Him being our leader—the head of the snake—it goes a long way for us and the young core,” Miller said.
The Hornets will look to extend their winning streak to seven when they host the New Orleans Pelicans on Monday.

“I feel great, my confidence level is high. I take my hat off to my teammates every night, because without them I wouldn’t have games like this, without their trust,” Miller said. “So as long as I keep trusting them, we’re gonna keep pushing these wins to the city of Charlotte.”
While Miller is in his second consecutive season averaging 20+ points per game, his 37.7% 3-point shooting and 0.9 blocks per game this season are career bests.
