Hornets vs Hawks: Brandon Miller Postgame Media Availability | 2/14/2024

On the victory um hold just 99 points think they the best offense in the NBA the last nine games um how what was kind of key to doing what you guys did on the defensive end especially Trey and J Murray in um I think we just um I think the

Start of the game we came out with you know energy on the defensive side and of course defense translates to offense um I til my hat off to you know Cody Martin for you know coming out Garden you know the best player every game um hard as he

Can um but I mean I mean without him I think um it would be different so I think having that presence with Cody um you know putting pressure on you know their their number one scores is kind of a big key for us I think you guys said

16-point lead going into the fourth they got it to eight maybe about five minutes to go and then you guys want a 10-1 run to kind of put it away you haven’t had many opportunities to have a big lead going into the fourth quarter but seemed like very calm no Panic nothing even

When Atlanta started to make a little bit of a run is there any sort of uh recognition or I guess what was kind of you know the reason for the awareness C there in the fourth quarter um I think I think our fourth quarter mentality is

You know Just Give It All We Got um you know it’s the last game to the Break um so just you know go out there and just um leave it all on the floor you know um and get a great win in front of a great home crowd tonight you mention allar

Break coming out tomorrow obiously a little up and down with you guys far season a lot of injuries trades and what for you what’s been like to kind of experience all this and then I looking forward to the break coming up now got a

Little stff to do all uh I think um I think one word to describe that is a movie um it’s it’s been kind of all over the place um but you know I think you know just being around these guys every day um they push you to be you know the

Best of the best so um I think without them um I think I wouldn’t be here so what hat off to them Brandon coach mentioned in the pregame how the new additions have allowed you in miles have way more spacing on the court allows you

Guys to kind of get to your spots easier can you just talk about how your game has changed since that TR definitely uh I think you know with all the guys we brought in uh I think it definitely opens up the floor because you know they

They all can shoot um so I think that just I think that just brings another Defender to you know close out to them and just you know moving without the basketball I think that’s important to us you know just to spread everybody out so um you know just attacking gaps is

Kind of um where we doing for nowon defensively what has changed for you guys here in these last three games you guys are holding these high powered offenses around 100 points um like I said Cody Martin um you know putting the pressure on the um you know tops scoring

Guys um you know like Trey um Murray um you know everybody so I think just without him I think that’s kind of our key our key on defense right now Brandon I know it’s a small sample size with a AOW but knowing how competitive you are

And how tough this season has been you feel like this team is starting to get the early season some winning habits uh most definitely I think uh like I’ve said I’m here to you know win as many games we can um I think you know without the guys that we brought in we

Wouldn’t we wouldn’t be winning um for sure so I think they they kind of helped us you know you know push all the young guys you know me um you know Nick Smith Jr just got back um Nate Mena um you know not just the young guys but the

Older guys you know just everybody coaching each other making each other better every day yeah I was going to ask you about that what what these five guys and what has it kind of done to this because obviously the energy seems different the the ball movement certainly seems different um what what

Has kind of happened in your in your eyes uh like you said just you know the ball is not sticking um that and then our our our defensive energy has um you know went up a lot uh since our first game Brandon after the Lakers game you

Mentioned how you just wish there a couple more Hornet Jes in the stands well the energy seems to be back in Spectrum Center you just talk about the fans too kind of feel the energy from tra deadine definitely loved it tonight um you know I heard that the fans you

Know the let’s go Hornets chant um I that three games in a row so I think that’s you know kind of a big key for us cuz you know just going in you know having our home fans cheering us on I think that can bring us a lot of energy and

Momentum that was crazy that was crazy that was crazy
