CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Midway through the second quarter on Saturday, the Heat appeared destined for their second miserable road game in 24 hours. Trailing by 22 to the Charlotte Hornets — the Eastern Conference’s second-worst team — Miami was mired in a deep shooting slump.
But the Heat came alive, going on a 13-0 run in the second quarter and cutting the deficit to just three points by the end of the half. The momentum did not push Miami into the lead, though, and the Heat could not complete the comeback, falling to the Hornets 108-103 at the Spectrum Center in Charlotte on Saturday.
Unfortunately for the Heat, they picked up where they left off Friday night in Milwaukee. Baskets seemed nearly impossible to come by early Saturday night. Miami started the game 2 for 10 from the field, making only one of its first five 3s.
