The Miami Heat and the Charlotte Hornets duke it out at the Spectrum Center on Saturday night.
The Miami Heat have been a little below their best lately as they’ve lost six of their last 10 games overall and they will be hoping to put a halt to a three-game skid after getting routed by the Bucks in a 128-99 road loss last night. Jimmy Butler led the team with 23 points on eight of 10 shooting, Bam Adebayo added 18 points while Caleb Martin chipped in with 17 points off the bench. As a team, the Heat shot just 39 percent from the field and nine of 40 from the 3-point line, but they didn’t come out looking to play defense which meant they were always fighting a losing battle after allowing 73 points in the first half. Victor Oladipo had a rough game as he scored just two points on one of seven shooting while Kevin Love finished scoreless on zero of four shooting in his debut.
Meanwhile, the Charlotte Hornets look to have moved on from their seven-game skid as they are now gunning for a fourth straight victory after beating the Timberwolves in a 121-113 road win last night. LaMelo Ball led the team with 32 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists, Gordon Hayward added 27 points with 13 rebounds and five assists while PJ Washington chipped in with 20 points and eight rebounds. As a team, the Hornets shot 46 percent from the field and 10 of 28 from the 3-point line as they set the tone with 72 points in the first half to build an early 11-point lead, but they lost the lead and had to close the final 3:35 on a 14-4 run to escape with the narrow win in the end.
