Heat finish strong to beat Hornets

The Miami Heat edged out the Charlotte Hornets with a strong triple-double performance from Hassan Whiteside

Thanks to a big outing by Goran Dragic, Hassan Whiteside and Dwyane Wade, the Miami Heat were able to pull of a 98-95 victory over the Charlotte Hornets.

The $80 million man, Goran Dragic, might finally be living up to his monster deal. When he was sideline with a recent calf injury, the Heat’s offense looked stagnant. But now, the team looks fluid on offense, and the Heat have won 7 of their last 8 games.

He finished Friday’s contest with 12 points, 9 rebounds, 8 assists and 2 steals.
