The Miami Heat were probably in a state of shock after Saturday night’s debacle in Philadelphia. Although they’ve lost this season, they haven’t lost in that fashion, in that manner, and with such a lackluster effort given in fighting back. Either way, they would have a very good chance to get back on their horse on Monday.
The Miami Heat would be facing the Charlotte Hornets in South Beach on Monday, a team that they had faced and beaten in the preseason. Although the preseason isn’t quite the same as the regular season, from an intensity, strategic, and deployment of lineup perspective, the Miami Heat still probably took from that an in general look at how they matched up.
