It’s no secret that the Miami Heat have been playing their most consistent basketball of this season as of late.
Despite dropping two of their last three games, Miami has been silencing its critics as the All-Star break nears. That 82-game journey would continue Saturday night in Charlotte, with the Heat taking on the Hornets in a divisional showdown.
Wayne Ellington scored 26 points, starting in place of a banged up Goran Dragic, while James Johnson added 22 points, six rebounds and seven assists. Kelly Olynyk’s 16 points and 10 rebounds also helped Miami hold off the Hornets, 106-105.
