Charlotte Hornets’ Brandon Miller Praises the Team’s Chemistry in Rout of the Brooklyn Nets

Charlotte Hornets swingman Brandon Miller lauded the team’s much-improved play and resolve after they secured their 40th win of the season, following a 117-86 rout against the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday night.

Miller was the Charlotte Hornets’ top scorer with 25 points (game-high), three rebounds, and four three-pointers on 7-for-13 shooting from the field in 29 minutes. With the road victory, the team is tied with the ninth-seeded Miami Heat and sits a half-game behind the eighth-seeded Orlando Magic.

“I think the heart is there, the heart is showing every night. We’re competing at the highest level against any team on any given night, and just building wins for the city of Charlotte. I think we’ve been doing a great job with that,” Miller said in his courtside interview.

“One of the things we learned is playing really good teams,” head coach Charles Lee said. “Especially at this point in the year — meaningful games — there’s carryover, whether you win or whether you lose, you have to move on quickly. Because the opponent is going to be a high-level team and you can’t dwell on what happened the night before, win or lose.”
