Hornets BLOWOUT 76ers by 37! | Brandon Miller DOMINATES & Defense STIFLES Maxey | 3 Game Streak š„
Brandon Miller leads the way with 30 points as the Hornets secure their first three-game winning streak of the season in a massive blowout over the 76ers. Plus, we discuss how the defense, anchored by Kon Knueppel, completely shut down Tyrese Maxey despite a chaotic night of turnovers.
The Charlotte Hornets are finally healthy and playing their best basketball of the season, securing a massive 130-93 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers. We discuss Brandon Millerās explosive 30-point performance, marking his first 30-point game in a six-game leading scorer stretch. The offense clicked early, building a 50-point lead by the fourth quarter which allowed the starters to rest, a luxury this team rarely enjoys.
Defensively, Charles Leeās game plan stifled Tyrese Maxey, holding the star guard to just 6 points on 3-of-12 shooting. Kon Knueppel and the team utilized physicality to disrupt Philadelphia’s rhythm, a testament to the “MIG” (Most Important Guy) defensive philosophy. However, it wasn’t all perfect; we address the concerning 25 turnovers that led to 33 Sixers points and why ball security remains a hurdle for the play-in push.
Finally, we open the “Sicko Satchel” to hear from fans about Moussa Diabateās impact, LaMelo Ballās masterful orchestration despite a minutes restriction, and the excitement of a potential four-game win streak. Join us for this celebration of a rare blowout win.

Brandon Miller has balled out for the month of January. All i want is for the Hornets to make the play-in and still get lucky with a top ten pick and draft Caleb Wilson
Through 3 quarters this team exuded competitive joy; extra passes, guards crashing for rebounds, active hands etc. theyāre having fun and playing tough!
What moves do you want to see by the trade deadline based on this game if any?
A healthy Hornets team is a problem! Definitely play-in team. No one really wants to play a team with four 20-point scorers.
Also is B-Mill a sneak all-star contender
Charles Barkley says hornets guarantee in play in you know when Charles is on our side it pretty bad lol š
Best Charlotte team outside of 90s. They are fun and have actual talent
No Embiid and Bench couldnt get it to 140 pts. Let Tre Mann cook the 4th.
Happy for the win. I agree our bigs have to shoot 3s to keep the defense honest. My god when is melo gona get a descent whistle? Itās criminal at this point. Thts why he doesnāt drive as much because he gets the crap beat out of him. Make it make sense.
What the hell? Hornets turned into the KD warriors in the last week.
Are the Hornets playing good defense? That is key.
NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lamelo defense is getting better and more people should mention it the only thing im afraid is that Lamelo points will drop so hard and i personally like Efficient Lamelo more but we just might see that once in a while with how much he passes im very happy with this team overall one thing imma say though is our bench needs to be way better the turnovers from sexton sion and more could be costly they lucky we was leading by 30
Moose and Kalk would be my 7th and 8th choice to shoot a 3 in the game, lol.
Second of all, I want that hat
3 GAME WIN STREAK?!?! Are we officially better than we were 10 years ago?
Iāve begged for 3 years to see what a healthy team looks like!
I wish we beat Philadelphia over 60 points
