Miami found the secret to beating the Hornets just in time. Miami's key to victory was to crash the boards as the Heat outrebounded Charlotte 46-31 in Friday's 97-90 win to force a Game 7. Dwyane Wade came through in the fourth quarter to score 10 of his 23 points while Luol Deng added 21 points for the Heat. Kemba Walker poured in 37 points for the Hornets and Al Jefferson added 18 points and nine rebounds, but the rest of the team was just 10-of-32 from the floor. Nicolas Batum, who played just 14 minutes in Game 6 and scored six points, is still questionable with a foot injury. Wade's playoff experience was also a major factor on Friday, and the home court is another huge advantage in a Game 7. Take the Heat.
