The Brooklyn Nets face the Miami Heat in an NBA regular season game on Wednesday, Nov.1, 2023, (11/1/23) at Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida.
Brooklyn Nets forward Dorian Finney-Smith reacts after a play in the first half of an NBA basketball game against the Charlotte Hornets, Monday, Oct. 30, 2023, in Charlotte, N.C.
Terry Rozier had 23 points and rookie Brandon Miller added a career-high 22 points and nine rebounds for the Hornets. Miller, the No. 2 pick in the draft, is averaging 17.3 points in his first three games with the Hornets. “I think it was just our spacing,” Thomas said. “We played a lot of small ball and a lot of five-out. That opened up a lot of driving lanes for us. The bigs were pulled out and it gave the guards a lot of driving lanes.”He said he’s getting comfortable now in his third NBA season, and coach Jacque Vaughn is liking what he’s seeing from the forward.
“We took some quick 3s without putting any pressure on the defense, and they got it and were gone,” Clifford said. “It was definitely the defense, but a lot of that I think was our shot selection early on.” Clifford attributed Ball’s slow start to the season to missing most of the summer while recovering from a broken ankle. He said he is still behind other players, but is confident he will catch up.
