Heat edge Hornets 87-83 to take 3-2 series lead
Dwyane Wade's 3-pointer with 54 seconds left put Miami ahead to stay and the Heat went on to beat New Orleans 87-83 Friday night for a 3-2 lead in the first-round playoff series. The home team has won all five games, and the Heat have won 15 consecutive games in Miami. They can close out the series with a victory Sunday in New Orleans, but they're 13-30 on the road this season. The Hornets, who fell to 0-5 in Miami this season, led by 11 points in the first half, were up 58-49 midway through the third quarter and squandered a 33-point performance by Davis. Eddie Jones scored 25 points and Wade had 21 for the Heat. |
