Dwyane Wade gave them the opportunity with his berserker barrage late in Game 6, but the Miami HEAT were going to need someone else to step up in order to finish off the Charlotte Hornets.
Turns out, the entire team was more than willing to answer the call as the HEAT turned in a dominating, blowout Game 7 performance to advance past the First Round. None were as important as Goran Dragic and Hassan Whiteside.
For most of this series the HEAT went as their jumpers went. With the Hornets going under pick-and-rolls and sending extra defenders into the paint, Steve Clifford had been daring Miami to beat them on the perimeter.
