At this point of the season, each and every single game are important for most teams. That was the case yesterday for the Charlotte Hornets, who went up against the Miami Heat, who are ahead of them in the playoff race.
These are the types of games that you love to see. The crowd is into it, there are playoff implications, and it’s extremely competitive. This was a game that the Hornets had to have, but they let it slip away with an atrocious 36 point second half.
It was a close, competitive game for three quarters, as the Heat led by just one point entering the fourth quarter.
