"The Heat came out scorching with their shooting, totaling a franchise record 53 total points in the opening period alone. They knocked down 10 triples in the quarter, and their revamped fast paced offense showed spurts of being unstoppable again. That was until they gave up a 27-2 run in the second quarter, allowing Charlotte to climb their way back into the game."
"But Miami was able to contain the Hornets' comeback attempt in the second half. They had a 32-20 fourth quarter advantage, where Jaime Jaquez Jr. stepped up to help close it out for the Heat in the clutch. Jaquez finished with an elite complete game of 18 points, 9 assists and 8 rebounds in 8 of 15 shooting. It was an efficient, near triple-double outing off the bench for the third-year forward."
"The Heat got plenty of contributions elsewhere. They had six of their nine-man rotation players score in double digits. Norman Powell led with a team best 25 points on 50% shooting. Andrew Wiggins helped support Powell's efforts with the starters with 22 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists of his own. Andrew Wiggins has consistently been one of the best players for the Heat to begin the season."
Miami beat the Charlotte Hornets 126-108 to move to 5-4. The Heat scored a franchise-record 53 points in the first quarter with 10 three-pointers, then allowed a 27-2 second-quarter run. Miami contained the comeback and closed with a 32-20 advantage in the fourth. Jaime Jaquez Jr. had 18 points, 9 assists and 8 rebounds in 8-of-15 shooting. Six of nine rotation players scored in double figures. Norman Powell led with 25 points, Andrew Wiggins added 22 (4-of-6 from three) and Pelle Larsson had 19 on 8-of-11. Kel'el Ware started with Bam Adebayo sidelined after a toe sprain.
