The Miami Heat (3-1) host the rising Charlotte Hornets (4-1) at the FTX Arena tonight at 7:30pm.
Charlotte’s surprising early season record is all the more impressive considering that they are 3-0 on the road. They bounced back after a tough 140-129 loss at home on Monday to the Boston Celtics (just like the Heat, Charlotte’s lone defeat this season was in overtime) with a 120-111 road win against the Orlando Magic. Miles Bridges scored 31 points and Gordon Hayward added 24 in Wednesday’s victory. Bridges leads the team in scoring averaging 26.
