It didn't even take two games before the Charlotte Hornets' nemesis — the injury bug — reared its ugly head again. Brandon Miller had to exit the team's loss to the Philadelphia 76ers after sustaining a shoulder injury. However, the Hornets may have a more urgent concern to deal with after they gave up a match they were supposed to win on Saturday. They have to learn to play to win instead of simply trying to hold onto the lead if they find themselves well ahead on the scoreboard.
Despite Miller suiting up for just nine minutes, Charlotte still had the game somewhat in control.
