What happened

Three games, two wins, and a Thursday that nobody in Charlotte wanted to relive. The week opened sweetly in Brooklyn, 110-103, with one fan admitting it "hurts my UNC soul…. I LOVE GRAYSON ALLEN." Then Atlanta came in and won 128-81, the turning point that dragged old grievances back out — "the Lamelo trade sucks. It always sucked." Brandon Miller answered Saturday with 34 in a 115-110 win over Miami, enough to make the contract doomers "shut the f up for a few weeks." Not forever. Few weeks.
