Charlotte Hornets Secure Ninth Seed, Post Impressive Streak; Brandon Miller, LaMelo Ball Shine in Win Over Hawks

The Charlotte Hornets clinched the ninth seed in the Eastern Conference after a thrilling 110-107 victory over the Atlanta Hawks, marking their ninth win in ten games before the All-Star break. This victory would secure home-court advantage in the play-in tournament if it started today.

Brandon Miller led the charge with 31 points, 9 rebounds, and 2 blocks, while LaMelo Ball contributed 24 points, 6 assists, and crucial defensive plays. Rookies like Ryan Kalkbrenner and Sion James, who hit a buzzer-beater three, also made significant impacts.

The Hornets dominated without Moussa Diabate, securing a 33.9% offensive rebound rate and forcing 13 turnovers with 22 deflections. As the All-Star Weekend begins, the Hornets are just three games behind the seventh seed, with the leagues third-best defense since the new year and momentum that could carry them deep into the playoffs.
