· National Basketball AssociationBall scores 31 points, Miller has 29 to help the Hornets beat the Pacers, 103-83

Cody Martin added 15 points and Tre Mann had 14 off the bench. The Hornets have won two straight to improve to 4-5.
Pascal Siakam scored 27 points for Indiana (4-5). Benedict Mathurin added 22.
With Charlotte down by 13, the cold-shooting Ball exited the game with about six minutes remaining in the third quarter. Miller took over, putting the Hornets on his back. The second-year forward made five 3s and scored 17 points as Charlotte finished the quarter on a 23-2 run.
At one point, Miller nearly turned the ball over, tracked it down and simply flipped it up to beat the shot clock for a 3, bringing the crowd to its feet.
Hornets: As if the Hornets need any more injuries, forward Miles Bridges sat out with a bone bruise in his knee. Charlotte is already without centers Mark Williams and Nick Richards. Rookie Tidjane Salaun started for Bridges, becoming the second-youngest player in franchise history to start behind only Michael Kidd-Gilchrist.
