Los Angeles (United States) (AFP) – Brandon Miller scored 30 points and grabbed eight rebounds to lead Charlotte’s 130-93 blowout of Philadelphia on Monday as severe weather forced early starts for two NBA games. Opening tipoffs were moved to the afternoon for the Hornets’ home victory and Atlanta’s 132-116 triumph over visiting Indiana after a severe winter storm on Sunday that dumped ice and snow over most of the United States.
The Hornets, 19-28, stretched their win streak to three games while the 76ers fell to 24-21. Miller made 9-of-12 shots from the floor, including 6-of-9 from three-point range, and was 6-of-6 from the free throw line to lead the Hawks, who had seven other double-figure scorers but none over 13 points. Kelly Oubre Jr. led the Sixers with 17 points, while Tyrese Maxey — third in NBA scoring with 29.9 points a game — managed only six points on 3-of-12 shooting.
