Charlotte Hornets beat the Heat, but may have also suffered a loss to the lineup

Devonte Graham made two huge jump shots in overtime and Malik Monk scored a career-high 36 points to beat the Heat in Miami 129-121 Monday.

Monk hit a clutch 3-pointer on the Hornets’ final possession of regulation to force overtime. Playing off the bench, Monk made 9 of 13 3-point attempts.

The Hornets played without starting shooting guard Terry Rozier (sprained ankle) and lost power forward P.J. Washington in the second half to a sprained foot.

With Rozier out, rookie LaMelo Ball made his first NBA start. He finished with 14 points, seven assists and five rebounds.
