In yet another memorable game, the Miami Heat grabbed another huge win for their playoff chase against the pesky Charlotte Hornets 91-84 on the road Wednesday night. The win put the Heat back in the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.
Not only had the Hornets already beaten them twice this season, but Miami simply had to begin stringing together victories to climb up in the standings and that’s precisely what they’re doing. They’ve now won three straight, including four of their last five games.
Miami’s big man duo of Hassan Whiteside and Kelly Olynyk shined brightest in an almost “old school” low-scoring affair.
