Brandon Miller led the Hornets on Thursday with 20 points (8-of-15 FGs), two rebounds, four assists, two steals and two three-pointers in a 124-97 win over the Magic.
Miller got hot late in the third quarter and scored 11 points over the final six minutes of the frame. He didn’t do any more scoring in the fourth quarter, but he didn’t need to due to the lopsided score. This was his fifth straight game scoring at least 20 points, which is his longest stretch of the season. He has shot the ball more efficiently in recent weeks, which has helped his value. He’ll look to stay hot against the Wizards on Saturday.
