Brandon Miller’s Stellar Performance Leads to Victory

With a standout performance from Brandon Miller scoring 26 points, the Hornets showcased their resilience and fighting spirit, traits reminiscent of entrepreneurial innovation seen across local small businesses.

Game Highlights
The Hornets created a foundational lead early on, building a 17-point advantage during the third quarter. Collin Sexton made impactful contributions off the bench, scoring 21 points and nailing all five of his three-point attempts, which underscores the importance of optimal talent utilization within team dynamics. LaMelo Ball also shone with a versatile contribution that included 16 points, eight rebounds, and eight assists, reflecting how collaborative efforts can lead to success.
The Spurs attempted a comeback, narrowing the lead to just two points following notable plays from Harrison Barnes and De’Aaron Fox. However, Charlotte’s ability to maintain composure under pressure proved critical as they executed vital plays down the stretch. A crucial sequence involving a controversial foul reversal ultimately favored the Hornets, allowing them to secure the win and extend their streak.
Impact of Weather on Scheduling
The game was rescheduled three hours earlier due to a snowstorm that delivered six inches of snow across Charlotte.
