Duncan Robinson had 23 points and Jimmy Butler had 15 points and a game-high 10 assists as the host Miami Heat defeated the Charlotte Hornets 115-104 on Wednesday night.

Kyle Lowry and Jaime Jaquez Jr. each added 17 points for Miami. Lowry didn't miss a shot, as he went 5-for-5 from the floor, 4-for-4 from 3-point range and 3-for-3 from the foul line. Robinson made 6 of 9 3-pointers.

The Heat were able to sit Butler and Lowry for the entire fourth quarter, giving the duo some extra rest ahead of Miami's game against the Chicago Bulls on Thursday.
