We are in the middle of the third quarter between the Hornets and the Pacers. Myles Turner has just increased his team's lead to +13 (51-64) on the Charlotte floor, which is showering copiously from afar: 7/31 since the start of the game, including a terrible 2/11 just for LaMelo Ball…
Charles Lee then brings out his playmaker, and it is Cody Martin who revives Charlotte, before Brandon Miller does not completely catch fire, with a 4/4 by far in the rest of the quarter!
Even after a messy sequence which saw him lose then recover the ball, and find himself frozen almost two meters behind the 3-point line, he draws and it hits the buzzer. The Hornets bench is furious, the room too, and the sophomore shrugs his shoulders, Michael Jordan style, to signify that he is in the supernatural.
14 points in a stunning 23-2
Result of his heat stroke? 14 points in six minutes, for a 23-2 for Charlotte which allowed his team to overturn the match, LaMelo Ball taking over in the last quarter.
For Brandon Miller, his 29 points at 10/17 including 7/11 from afar, to go with his 6 rebounds and 6 assists, feel good. Not only because they allowed the Hornets to win a match despite injuries, but also because the winger had difficulty finding the target this season, with only 35% success before this outing.
“If your shots don’t go in, your teammates will always encourage you to keep shooting” he explains. “Of course, there are other ways to influence matches. Particularly on the defensive side, we adhered to that and we got the stops we needed. We held them to 83 points. That's a tough thing to do in this league. »
