The Charlotte Hornets offense came in different doses in their most recent game, and it could be a good thing for a team searching for a formula that breeds consistency.

The Miami Heat need to find some order as well, hoping to get back on track Monday night against the host Hornets at Charlotte,N.C.

The Heat have lost five of their last seven games, including Friday night's 111-99 loss to the visiting Cleveland Cavaliers.

"These are painful lessons," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said.

The Hornets had to like their balance when four players scored 20 or more points in a 119-116 victory over the visiting Toronto Raptors on Friday night.
