Game review
What happened
The Hornets beat the Wizards 110–103 at home. Brandon Miller led them with 39 points and 6 rebounds, making 5 of 10 threes, and Naz Reid added 18. For the Wizards, Anthony Davis had 29 points and 10 rebounds.
What the model got right
The model gave the Hornets a 70% chance at home, mainly because of home court, even though the Wizards rated slightly stronger (97.1 to 83.5), and they won by 7. Recent form pointed the same way: the Hornets had been winning by 1.8 points a game, the Wizards losing by 9.6.
What didn't work
Our rating had the Wizards slightly stronger on paper, and on the night that didn't decide it. Anthony Davis's 29 points for the Wizards weren't enough to change the result.
Why
The result fits what the model leaned on, home court. One win doesn't prove the model right: at 70%, about 3 in 10 games like this go the other way, and every result stays on our record.
