Perhaps the Hornets received’t be so unhealthy, in any case. Or possibly the Rockets simply had opening-night jitters. However hey, nobody anticipated Charlotte to enter Houston, lose Brandon Miller to a hip harm, and emerge victorious on Wednesday evening.
That’s what occurred, with the Hornets claiming a 110-105 win.
It actually helped that LaMelo Ball returned and was good on his option to 34 factors, 11 assists, a steal and a block.
Both manner, it is a new day in Charlotte, with new head of basketball operations Jeff Peterson and new coach Charles Lee, previously a longtime NBA assistant.
On this evening, it was Grant Williams who hit a go-ahead 3-pointer with 40 seconds to go to safe the victory.
“It’s unfortunate to not have some of those guys in your lineup,” Lee mentioned, addressing the Miller harm, by way of Rod Boone of the Charlotte Observer. “They are obviously key members of our team and what we do, but I think it’s a testament to the environment we created. Anyone is ready for their opportunity because they put in the work every day.”
And who is aware of? Perhaps the Hornets can change into this season’s sleeper. They actually are off to a rousing begin in that division.
