Hornets Smoke Nets, Brandon Miller Shines

On April 1st, the Charlotte Hornets smoked the Brooklyn Nets 117 to 86 in a total blowout.

Brandon Miller led the charge with a balanced attack from everywhere on the floor,

setting the tone early and keeping the pressure on all night.

They jumped out fast with an 18-to-4 run right off the tip,

thanks to Miller hitting all five of his first quarter shots for 16 points.

The Nets barely scraped together any offense,

and Charlotte held a 12-point lead at halftime,

after fending off a brief second-quarter push.

Fans and analysts are buzzing about the Hornets' focus.

They never let up against a weak opponent,

playing disciplined under coach Charles Lee.

Miller looks sharp pulling up from deep,

while Miles Bridges' own mismatches,

bullying smaller defenders and adding hustle plays like deflections,

and boards.

One area to watch is their three-point shooting,

which went cold at just 12 of 39 makes.

Rookie con the weapon snapped his streak without a triple two,

and they'll need that fire before facing elite defenses down the stretch.

Now the Hornets kick off a key homestand

against the slumping Phoenix Sun squad,

then the Indiana Pacers,

games that could lock in their late season, momentum.
