Hornets Smoke Pacers, Secure Winning Record

0:00On April 4th, Charlotte Hornets just smoked the Indiana Pacers 129-178. Brandon Miller dropped 22 points to lead the squad, while Khan, Newebel, top 20 as well. Every starter chipped in during a blowout that locked in their 42nd win of the season. Early on, the Hornets flipped a quick 4-0 Pacers lead into a massive 24-2 run. They held a 14-point edge after the first, then Lamello Ball and Miller pushed it to 19 at halftime. Third quarter saw them stretch at 26, though Indiana clots them back. This victory guarantees Charlotte's first winning record in years, dodging what could have been a trap after beating a stronger Sun Squad. Fans are buzzing about the young team's focus, no letdowns, despite Lowles. Lamello stepping up on defense, fighting switches and spotting open teammates like a vet. Miller owned late clock shots, including a slick step back, and Miles Bridges kept his hot hand going from the back to back opener.

1:00Sion James lit it up with first half threes. Sure, often stalled a few times, but nothing major in a lopsided route. Now the real test hits, the Hornets faced the toughest stretch left, starting Sunday night against the Timberwolves, then the East's top three. They'll need at least one, maybe two wins to hold that eighth seed. Keep watching these kids rise. From your team, powered by AI, this is Charlotte Hornets news today. I'm Corey with the story.
