The Charlotte Hornets finally ended their losing streak by defeating the Detroit Pistons with a last-second layup from Brandon Miller.
Exciting Fourth Quarter
In the final quarter, both teams kept scoring back and forth. LaMelo Ball put Charlotte ahead with a floater, leaving just 24.1 seconds on the clock. But then Jaden Ivey’s dunk brought Detroit within one point.
Detroit’s Late Surge
Detroit had one more foul to give and used it strategically. They double-teamed Miller, leading to Malik Beasley stripping the ball away. Rookie Ron Holland II seized this chance, making a crucial layup that gave Detroit a 107-106 lead with only 6.3 seconds left.

Charlotte’s Last Chance
Miles Bridgers struggled to inbound but found Cody Martin, who passed to Grant Williams for a possible game-winner. Although Williams missed his three-pointer, the ball bounced perfectly into Millerโs hands. He quickly scored off the backboard as time expired, securing an exhilarating 108-107 win for Charlotte.

Miller’s Performance Boost
Brandon Miller shined in this game with 19 points and six reboundsโhis best performance this season so farโalongside four assists. Despite averaging just 12.8 points per game due to an earlier glute injury, perhaps this victory will boost his confidence and help improve his shooting stats moving forward.
If Miller continues like this, we believe the Hornets have a real shot at making it to the play-in tournament!
