  "account": "Brandon Miller led the Charlotte Hornets to a thrilling 115-110 victory over Miami Heat, the team that had not won a game all season. The Hornets bounced back from their worst loss in team history, a 128-81 defeat to Atlanta the previous Friday. Miller scored a franchise-record 34 points, hitting clutch shots in a six-point surge that took the Hornets from an 18-point deficit to a 92-70 lead. Dennis Schroder added 25 points, Naz Reid contributed 23, and Grayson Allen had 20. Miami's Giannis Antetokounmpo scored just 14 points, a sharp contrast to his 35.5 average in his first two games following his trade from Milwaukee. Miami regrouped, fueled by 22 points from Davion Mitchell and 20 from Naz Reid, but could not overcome Charlotte's lead and finished with 22 points from LaMelo Ball, who had traded to Minnesota earlier in the week.",
