Hornets Snap Losing Streak: Brandon Miller’s Clutch 4th + Vasa Trade to Nuggets Re-Examined
Locked On Hornets - Daily Podcast On The Charlotte HornetsAbout this episode
The Charlotte Hornets finally snapped their losing streak with a thrilling victory over the Indiana Pacers, ending their eight-game skid. We break down Brandon Miller’s standout performance, including his show-stopping dunk and 11 clutch points in the fourth quarter. What does this win reveal about Miller’s growth, and how is head coach Charles Lee challenging him to step up under pressure? We also explore the team’s weekend back-to-back performances, including the tough loss to Cleveland. Isaiah Wong’s hustle and DaQuan Jeffries’ unexpected minutes as an undersized center are just some of the surprising stories keeping the Hornets competitive despite being short-handed. Is GM Jeff Peterson on a hot streak with his under-the-radar roster additions? We debate how Wong, Jeffries, and others fit into the long-term vision. Finally, we revisit the trade rumor mill—what’s the likelihood of Vasilije Micić being dealt to Denver? Could the Hornets leverage the Nuggets’ struggles to secure a deal that improves their frontcourt depth? Plus, a theory about T.J. McConnell’s seemingly personal vendetta against the Hornets.
