Wade Says Defense Still Key To Stopping Hornets

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (SportsDirect Inc.) — The Miami Heat have put on an offensive clinic in breezing to a 2-0 lead over the Hornets and hope to keep the points coming when the series shifts to Charlotte for Game 3 on Saturday.

The Heat scored a franchise playoff-record 123 points in Game 1 and tallied 72 in the first half of a 115-103 triumph in Game 2.

Miami is shooting 57.8 percent from the floor through the first two games and Dwyane Wade is averaging 22 points and 7.5 assists to lead the way.

“We can’t expect to take this same offensive game on the road,” Wade told reporters.
