The Charlotte Hornets are set to take on the Miami Heat in game three of their first round series. This will be the first game at home for Charlotte this postseason. The Hornets will need to find a way to win without their second leading scorer in Nicolas Batum.
Charlotte will need to avoid going down 3-0 in this first round series. No team has ever come back from a 3-0 deficit to win a playoff series in NBA history. The Hornets will be returning to Buzz City in this one so they should have a home court advantage on their side.
