Pretty cool that Brandon Miller scored a career-high 39 points on Breast Cancer Awareness Night, where he also paid for tickets for 500 breast cancer survivors for the second consecutive year, inspired by his mom’s recovery.
The Hornets improved to 3-1 with a 110-103 win, powered by a career-high 39 points from Brandon Miller, who shot 15-of-28 from the field and 5-of-10 from 3-point range.
Moussa delivered a dominant performance on the boards, recording an 11-point, 17-rebound double-double, including 11 offensive rebounds.
Naz Reid continued to impress with his all-around game, scoring 16 of his 18 points in the second half after getting into early foul trouble while also grabbing 12 rebounds, as the Hornets also outrebounded the Wizards 54-41.
I think it's safe to say Brandon Miller is out of his "slump," as he's now up to 24 points on 10-of-21 shooting with 4:41 left in the third. All smiles after the middy over Anthony Davis, which brought the lead up to nine points.
Brandon Miller becomes the second-fastest player in NBA history to get to 500 three-pointers, only behind Duncan Robinson. Fastest in Hornets history, but it will be interesting to see how quickly Kon can get there. Miller also got the steal and dunk on the next possession.
Got to love Brandon Miller's effort on defense so far this season, hustling back and getting the block on Bub Carrington.
So good to see Tidjane Salaun checking in early in the games so far and making an impact. Grabs the rebound and hits the open three on the other end.

Grayson Allen hits a grenade three and draws the foul (hit the free throw) as the crowd erupts as loud as it has in the last 24 hours with the Hornets now up 108-104 with 3:19 left.
Naz Reid does many things, but one thing that will be able to help the Hornets this year is holding his ground in the post against players like Giannis, as he forces him to travel in this possession.
