Heat cruise to third straight victory over visiting Hornets 144-117
"Both of the team's near 24 points per game scorers in Tyler Herro and Norman Powell were sidelined in this matchup- making the Heat's continued offensive dominance that much more impressive. Powell was a late addition on the injury report this afternoon and was downgraded from questionable to out closer to tip-off time. He had suffered some groin soreness at this morning's practice, although it doesn't seem to be any serious setback for the Heat newcomer."
"Their 144 points was good to tie for the fourth-highest in franchise history. The revamped fast paced Heat offense has been unstoppable, as they will now improve to a 3-1 record thus far on the season. Through four games, the Miami Heat have scored 121, 146, 115 and 144 points, respectively.This is the first time in franchise history where they've scored at least 144 points twice in a single season - and the second with 140+ twice (2023-24).What.

Miami started the season with an aggressive, fast-paced offense and improved to 3-1 after a 144-117 victory over the Charlotte Hornets. The team tied for the fourth-highest single-game scoring mark in franchise history and has scored 121, 146, 115 and 144 points in its first four games. Both Tyler Herro and Norman Powell were sidelined for the matchup, with Powell downgraded to out due to morning groin soreness. Jaime Jaquez Jr. led with 28 points, five assists, four rebounds and a +43 plus/minus. Powell's status will be monitored ahead of a road game against San Antonio and Victor Wembanyama.
