Midway through the second quarter on Saturday, the Heat appeared destined for their second miserable road game in 24 hours. Trailing by 22 to the Charlotte Hornets — the Eastern Conference’s second-worst team — Miami was mired in a deep shooting slump.

The momentum did not push Miami into the lead, though, and the Heat could not complete the comeback, falling to the Hornets 108-103 at the Spectrum Center in Charlotte on Saturday.
