Hornets' 50-Point Lead Machine Strikes Again!
27 Jan
Summary
- Hornets achieved a 50-point lead for the second time this month.
- Brandon Miller led the team with 30 points in the dominant victory.
- Tyrese Maxey was held to a season-low six points.
The Charlotte Hornets routed the Philadelphia 76ers 130-93 on Monday afternoon, a victory highlighted by their second instance this month of achieving a 50-point lead. Brandon Miller spearheaded the offensive charge with 30 points, contributing significantly to the team's commanding performance. All five Hornets starters achieved double-digit scoring, underscoring their collective effort in the dominant win. Charlotte's triumph extends their current winning streak to three consecutive games, a season-best for the team.
The Hornets' remarkable 50-point lead is a rare feat, making them the first team since February 2009 to accomplish this in two separate games within the same calendar month. Their previous 50-point margin was against Utah on January 10th. The game itself was rescheduled to a 3 p.m. start due to severe weather conditions impacting the Charlotte area.
Philadelphia struggled to contain the Hornets' offense, with Tyrese Maxey notably held to a season-low six points on inefficient shooting. This significant loss for the 76ers marks their second-worst defeat of the season. The 76ers are scheduled to host Milwaukee next, while the Hornets will travel to Memphis.
