Heat's Terry Rozier Shades Hornets After Trade: 'You're Kind of Used to Losing'

After being traded from the Charlotte Hornets to the Miami Heat, point guard Terry Rozier is relishing the opportunity to be with an organization that is known for its strong culture.

When asked about the differences between playing for the Hornets and the Heat, Rozier didn't mince words about his old team.

"It's the total opposite. In Charlotte, you're kinda used to losing. It's in the DNA, and it sucks to say that because of how much of a competitor I am," he told reporters. "But over here, it's the total opposite. Nobody wants to lose. Nobody is fine with it."

Rozier is still finding his footing in Miami, averaging 11.8 points in four games after averaging 23.2 points in 30 games with Charlotte. He had spent the last three and a half seasons with the Hornets while the team's playoff drought dating back to 2016 continued.

Despite his slow start with the Heat, Rozier said he enjoys being on a team that's hungry to chase an NBA title.

"I think it's no secret that everybody knows the differences between some organizations in the league, how well some people take winning, the culture of things. But this is the top," he said.

The Heat (24-23) will be looking to end a seven-game losing streak when they face the Sacramento Kings (27-18) on Wednesday.
