Brandon Miller shook his head, uttering out a few choice words to the visitor’s bench while backpedaling on defense.
The Charlotte Hornets swingman had just drained a turnaround jumper in the lane, adding to his impressive total. But this wasn’t a regular-season game at the Hornets’ home digs in Spectrum Center or Madison Square Garden, the venue of Saturday’s opponents.
Instead, Miller was doing his thing inside the cool atmosphere of UNLV’s Thomas & Mack Center on a blistering hot afternoon, starting at small forward and logging plenty of action in the Hornets’ 94-90 victory against New York on Saturday that upped Charlotte’s record to 4-0 in summer league play.
