In Reggie Miller's fifth season with the team, the Indiana Pacers, at 6-6, took on Alonzo Mourning, Larry Johnson and company in Charlotte. To the Hornets' surprise, it was Miller who got the last laugh.

Mourning scored 30 points, but in a high-scoring affair -- a total of 256 points scored -- Miller had the green light and the opportunities to go with it. On 29 shots, the sharpshooter scored a whopping 57 points, with 4 three-pointers, 8 assists and 5 rebounds. However, Miller did a large part of his damage from the line, having made 21 of 23 freebies.

With a usage (41.7%) over double his season average (20.2%), Miller converted at a true shooting percentage of 72.9%. His career-high 57 points were good enough for a Game Score of 50.4 and a 12-point Pacers win.
