Hornets Blown Out by Hawks 128-81 in First Game Home without LaMelo Ball, Booed by Sellout Crowd

Jalen Johnson and Aaron Wiggins scored 19 points each as Atlanta shot 50.5% and forced 21 turnovers in a lopsided road win.

  • The Miami Heat fell to 0-3 for the first time in 19 seasons after dropping a road game to the Charlotte Hornets 115-110 on Saturday. The defeat marks a challenging start for the new-look roster.
  • A seismic offseason trade brought two-time NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo to Miami, yet early returns have been rough. The Heat have shot 30.3 percent from three-point range while losing to the Minnesota Timberwolves and Detroit Pistons.
  • Charlotte's Brandon Miller scored 34 points to lead his team, while Miami forged ties at 100, 102, and 104 in the fourth quarter. Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said the reserve unit showed "when we aren't we're choosing not to and we're paying the price for that."
  • Limited to 14 points before fouling out with less than two minutes remaining, Antetokounmpo struggled in his first season with Miami. The Hornets rebounded from a 128-81 loss to Atlanta on Friday, securing victory before a sellout crowd of 19,611 at Spectrum Center.
  • Miami hopes to secure its first win on Monday at 7:30 p.m. ET against the Dallas Mavericks. The early season outcome will test whether the new roster can stabilize after the challenging 0-3 start.
