Result:
LOSS

The NBA Playoffs are all about making adjustments and the Miami Heat will have to do that after losing two in a row in Charlotte. The Heat have been plagued by fouls as Kemba Walker and Jeremy Lin have used the dribble penetration to perfection, and on offense Heat players have been forced to attempt many more three-pointers than in the regular season. Walker scored 34 points in Game 4 and Lin added 21 points as both teams shot nearly 40 percent, but the Hornets were 25-of-30 from the foul line compared to 14-of-21 for Miami. The Heat are 13-3 ATS its last 16 home games and look for Eric Spoelstra to make some changes and hope his team gets more favorable calls at home. Hornets starting guard Nicolas Batum still is questionable with a foot injury. Miami won the first two games by an average of 22 points and gets back on track in this matchup. Play the Heat.
