The Hornets find themselves in a big hole as they return to Buzz City. Not only were they unable to complete the comeback against the Miami Heat in game two, Nic Batum left the fourth quarter with an apparent ankle sprain.
The Hornets were able to keep up with the Heat early, coming out of the first quarter tied at 29. However, an explosive second quarter from Miami put Charlotte in comeback mode for the rest of the game. This is not the same Miami Heat team who sank only five points in the third quarter collapse to the Boston Celtics, is it?
