Heat latest to get stung by Hornets

Gordon Hayward scored 21 points and rookie center Mark Williams had key baskets among his 18 points and also collected 20 rebounds as the Charlotte Hornets extended their best stretch of the season by defeating the visiting Miami Heat 108-103 on Saturday night.

LaMelo Ball had 19 points and 13 assists, Kelly Oubre Jr. and Dennis Smith Jr. both supplied 15 points and Terry Rozier finished with 14 points as the Hornets have won four consecutive games after never winning more than two straight games this season prior to the All-Star break.

Tyler Herro's 33 points and Jimmy Butler's 28 points couldn't prevent Miami's season-worst four-game losing streak.
