The Charlotte Hornets beat the Miami Heat 115-110 on Saturday in Charlotte.

Brandon Miller scored 34 points to lead Charlotte, while Dennis Schröder added 25 and Naz Reid had 23.

Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 14 before fouling out with less than two minutes left; it is his first season with Miami.

The Hornets were without starters Kon Knueppel and Coby White, but a 24-7 third-quarter run put Charlotte in control after a difficult loss to Atlanta the night before.

Miami rallied from a 22-point deficit and tied the game late, but Grayson Allen’s four-point play helped Charlotte regain the lead.

Miami’s 0-3 start is the first of Erik Spoelstra’s 19 years as head coach, while Charlotte improved to 2-1.
