Despite Furious Comeback, Heat fall to Hornets.
Details: The Charlotte Hornets spoil the Miami Heat’s home opener with a 113-112 win. Kemba Walker was pivotal in the Hornets’ win as he scored 39 points, including the game-winning free throw off of a questionable foul call.
''I just saw a little bit of a lane,'' Walker said. ''I thought I did a good job at getting the contact.''
According to Heat coach Erik Spoelstra, he believes the game should have gone to overtime, “This is a game, for sure, you want it to keep going. It should have been decided in an overtime, if not more. ''
Take: The Heat came out flat at the beginning of the game, hence the need for a furious comeback at the second half of the game. Walker continued his hot play to start the season with the 39 point outburst that the Heat, really, had no answer for defensively the entire night. At 1-2 with three close games already under our belt, it seems like last season’s theme of close games will continue on over to this season. Next game is on Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. against the New York Knicks.
