HEAT Dominate Early, Defeat Hornets 108-94

Even though the HEAT were down a number of key contributors, they still opened up a big lead early on and won their second game in as many nights with their 108-94 victory over the Hornets Wednesday at Spectrum Center.

Let’s get into some takeaways from the action.

1. Waiters Balls Out

So…Dion Waiters essentially couldn’t be stopped in the first half.

Let’s go down the list:

Assertive drives and finishes at the rim? Check.

Catch-and-shoot treys? Check.

Nifty passes to his teammates? Check.

As such, Waiters led all players with 19 points on 7-of-12 shooting before the break.
