The Miami Heat defeated the Charlotte Hornets, 115-104, at Kaseya Center on Wednesday.

The Heat (14-10) completed the home-and-home sweep against the Hornets (7-15) on Wednesday. However, and unlike Monday’s meeting, Miami didn’t have significant problems securing the victory in front of a sellout 19,600 crowd at Kaseya Center. The Hornets looked better in the early stages and raced to a 23-22 score in the first quarter, carrying the momentum of Monday’s loss in which their fourth-quarter comeback came up short. However, Miami responded with a 34-22 score in the second quarter, erasing the lead and securing a double-digit point lead at halftime. The Heat didn’t step off the gas in the second half, and they built a lead they’d never relinquish after a 35-25 third quarter. The Hornets pulled back in the final 12 minutes (34-24), but it was garbage time, and the Heat cruised to an easy victory. With the win, the Heat moved to 6-4 at home. Meanwhile, the Hornets fell to 3-7 on the road.
