Miller scores 34 as Hornets hold off late Heat rally

Brandon Miller scored 34 points to lead Charlotte past Miami 115-110, helping the Hornets rebound from a 47-point loss to Atlanta the night before. After struggling with his shot in that defeat, Miller made 11 of 12 free throws and added seven rebounds and four assists, though he remained inefficient from the field. Charlotte built a 22-point third-quarter lead before Miami rallied to tie the game late; Grayson Allen’s four-point play restored the Hornets’ lead, and they held on for the win. Dennis Schroder added 25 points for Charlotte, while Davion Mitchell led Miami with 22.
