NBA Mini: Miami Heat vs. Charlotte Hornets | Extended Highlights
Some oxygen at the brakes. I hope not. Here’s Wiggins lobbing for it to wear. Kings size slam dunk. Bridges left-hander short on the three. Rebound finds its way to DaVon Mitchell. Mitchell right at ball. Yes, sir. Full speed ahead as the wing defenders were occupied and able for him to go one-on-one. And LaMelo Balls getting up out of his stance. Hit from the logo. He drills it. Two of them here in the first quarter. You really have to guard him. You got to stretch out him for the Hornets. Three for their first four from downtown. Mitchell kick out for a bam three. Yes, he’s a strong man and he can score inside and out. Plays bigger than 67 225 lbs. Nice pass by DaVon Mitchell. Larson bouncing it in. Davian Mitchell being able to find Larson under the basket, making himself showing some vision and and finding the open area, delivering that one perfectly to Larson. LaMelo ball again. So, a couple of threes that drive and score for his eight points. Larson back the other way for a bam slam. Now, don’t blink, but you may miss a basket. And then going upstairs, it’s Big Bam with the slam. [Applause] [Music] Seion James, the rookie from Duke, is also in for Charlotte. He wears number four. Larson. Oh, Dabate blocked his shot. Just over 5 minutes left. First quarter. Haime triple team and coughs it up for the Heat’s third turnover. Bridges against Larson. Oh, Miles Bridges with a onetrack mind right now. Take it to the rack. Not a reluctant shooter, but a selective perimeter shooter. Yeah. And I think it makes sense. He knows his strengths, but he he has to be a threat to some degree out there. He he just froze time. This bench brigade and Drew Smith part of this group has been so effective. Look how he was able to maintain his balance. Diabate flies by and then Drew Smith able to lay it in, provide, and it really makes a difference. They keep the pressure on opponents with this second unit. Eric Schultz gave him credit for his much improved decision making this year. Look. He’s so good getting in the paint. Being able to make make that shot is going to really put Charlotte in trouble. Oh no. Roughing the three-point shooter right there is like Steph Curry. When you’re making shots that far away and the defense has to get tighter to you, it makes you a better attacker and driver. LaMelo, he was obsessed with the fact that it helped his team win. That’s a a good sign for both Paul and the Hornets. Yovic, a turn around. Got it. He’s out with an injury tonight. A sore shoulder. The Heat missing both hero and power. Bam. Went right to the basket. Hornets shooting 52%. Minute 43 left here in a well played first quarter. Couple of two in one team. Techiosy. Josy. My brother. Paul. Honored him after the game as one of the top reserves. And look at that catch and shoot. High release. Great follow through down the last 8 seconds of the first quarter. Hakez down I 95. Two hand crusher and a rough landing. What a finish for Az Jr. Look at this for his 10th point. Oh man. Oh my god. Vicious landing, but tremendous dunk with force that that took a heavy toll and he landed right on his body. Uhoh. That was Coff Brener again getting inside. the Pack 12 player of the year and the Luke Olsson award winner senior year is the best forward in college basketball. Bridges rattles out a three. Yovic heading to the offensive end with with Hawkins. One-point heat lead back to Fonte. Oh yes, Simone. I mean you have a four-point lead. Canipple now section nice pass Brener hammers it down in a heat uniform. He’s getting good shots with this heat team too with the spacing and the ball movement. Command 10 points for Adabio. He has tripled twice tonight. Miami with a six-point lead. Their biggest of the first half. Bridges banked it up. Not in. Rebound tipped out by Van Himez. He’s origley from Milwaukee. Grew up a Tyler Herro fan. Oh, Drew Smith wash it to Clock. Here comes Sexton with Bridges missed the dunk and Simone Fonteio he wants a challenge. But that those words from our crew get him in Petritis. A clean block initial bouncing for Kell. Oh, rejected by Praa. But Kell needed a wakeup call for tonight. Belly had 15 on the first quarter. That’s Salon out to man. Half a second on the shot clock and he drills a triple. Just his third made three of the season. Came in questionable with a bruise jaw for this game. [Music] Be tough kid out of Gainesville. Wiggins hits a jump up his first half. High scoring as we anticipated. Ball against Wiggins. Good kick out from man and he triples for the second straight time. Perimeter to give Pella Larrison that wing three. He have been at at least 60 points in three of their in three of their first four games. Miss by ball loose ball back to ball corner three. He misses again and HZ comes down with a rebound. 14 points for Haime here in the first half. Wants more and gets more. eight equal their largest lead at eight. Nice pass. Seion James delivers, but it was LaMelo Ball that really delivered a laser beam assist. Has been impressive and effective this new uptempo heat offense. Hz for three. Rebound almost knocked out of bounds. Taken back by Wiggins and he puts it in. 19-3 run at the end of the half to go up by 16 at the half. Oh, Trey man making a mental error there to save it right by his basket. Oh, get get your popcorn ready and get comfortable. The second half is underway. He going with Wiggins, Mitchell, Larson, Wear, and Adabio. And that’s a three for the rookie Khan Canipple. The Hornets explosive team themselves. A lot of work still to be done. Wiggins driving on the rookie and scoring over the 7’1 in rookie center. Five of five from the field in this game. Yeah, I I don’t like that. I thought he overcommitted there, Kell. He’s got to be smarter when he makes that move. Well, gets two back and a chance at a three-point play. That was a crafty little setup pass by Pella Marson. We’ve seen him in his passing. I just think if he was to make more of a focus there, I think this team could improve more dramatically. Section buries a triple out of the corner. Wiggins bumping with Canadle in traffic. No foul. His with a reverse layup. A 22-point game for Haime. He is three for 12 tonight. 0 of five from three. How about Haime? What an effort. Making himself a factor on that offensive board.

This a fouron-one break. B with the slam. Second highest scoring bench in the league. They’ve been outstanding tonight. 43-4. Let’s see what they can do here. What a crafty pass for the Drew Smith triple. Eight points for the fifth year former Florida Gator. Grew up in Gainesville. Another three ball. [Music] Yoic Fonteio in the lineup as Yoic swings in a running hook shot. It’s come from everywhere tonight. A really nice left hand attack there. Very comfortable shooting it with that left hand as a right-handed player. [Applause] Collins section from the corner with a bullseye. Collins section going to keep on going. He’s got 18 points tonight. Just underway here in the fourth quarter. Hz on the move. Great pitch. Kaboom. [Music] 10 and 1/2 minutes left. Hz against the rookie Seion James. Gets him to the paint. Oh, he missed one. Diabate on the move. Used diapate. And through the first three games for the Sixers, that young man was averaging 25 points and six assists a game. Nico Yoic triples. Eight different Heat players have tripled tonight. 16 made threes on 47%. Just beautiful. Oh, Date. John, the Heat have scored 20 points off the 15 Charlotte turnovers tonight. There’s another one.

Perfect feed by LaMelo ball to Miles Bridges in 16. They got play right to the finish line to win in this league. 638 left. He lead by 16. Avon pitching for Wiggins. Kaboom. Andrew Wiggins his second trip player. From what I’ve seen, he is good out there shooting the ball with comfort. Four of nine from three. Have him put it down on the floor and he’s kicking it out of bounds. Oh, the the pit bull down with the rebound. That’s his six of the game. Adabio [Music] rebound down on the LaMelo ball. Got 20 points, eight assists, and seven rebound. Eight. And now eight rebounds. Nibble. No, Bridget. Yeah, Bridges just went out and did pick up his second person. Wiggins turn around and it sticks. Andrew Wiggins and Ryan Parker to finish up for Charlie with under four minutes to go. Bam on a reverse for the bucket. Lead by 24 points. 129 to 105. Cano on the move. Probably their best defensive game this season. Wiggins [Music] and drops. touch it up this fourth quarter. He’s got eight of his 21 points in this fourth quarter. Good game for him. You know, had 18 in the opener, then two games of 10 points or fewer. And this one get back to his scoring ways with 21. Bam. And a pull up. This is so good. In the NBA draft, he went to Utah. Dylan Harper was the second pick of the draft. Bill Larson getting in for the bucket in Miami on November 7th. Then the final two games of the season series will be played against Charlotte in the month of March. Rare look for the block. Date able to score as the Heats finish this off and they should. It would be 15 wins in their last 18 games against the Hornets. Kell kabooming twice here in the fourth quarter. A 14.9 rebound game for him and nine three 19 three 19 threes made tonight for Miami that ties their season high. They had 19 triples at Memphis NBA experience tonight. 139 to 112 McNeely. Nice looking triple for Leam McNeely. 139 to 115 under a minute left. The winners have not been held under 120 yet this year. Myron Gardner joined the party. Very a high level and efficient game for Miami on both ends of the so convincing and they just kept the pressure on and ultimately Charlotte wilted. Again, I can’t say enough about the bench and what they were able to do after the starters went out. It was just an incredibly balanced attack in full 48 minutes. Well, in the first four games this season, we’ve seen the third highest scoring game in Heat history. And this one, which ties for the fourth highest scoring game in Heat history. It’s on ESPN on Disney Plus. Turn it on.
