Dominant. Masterful. Overwhelming. Assertive. Authoritative. Mind numbing.
I don’t think any of those words — while fitting — fully encapsulate the Miami Heat’s second half performance over the Charlotte Hornets Saturday evening.
After trailing by five at the break, the Heat outscored Charlotte 58-35 in the second half— including a demonstrative 55-20 run (!!!) up until the 4:34 mark in the final frame — en-route to the 104-86 victory. Over those final 24 minutes, Miami shot 50.0 percent and 56.2 percent from 3-point range after clanking 14 of their 16 attempts from distance in the opening half.
