Rod Boone: Final: #Hornets 136, Heat 106 LaMelo 30 pts, 13 asts, 6 rebs Kon Knueppel 22 pts, 2 rebs, 2 asts Coby White 22 pts, 3 rebs, 2 asts Brandon Miller 16 pts, 2 rebs, 2 asts Up next: vs. Orlando on Thursday (Dell Curry jersey retirement)
The Heat also believes a five-second violation should have been called on the Magic with Orlando ahead by two points and 18.5 to play. But the officials ruled that Magic coach Jamahl Mosley called a timeout before the five seconds were up. “That’s what’s frustrating about it, because we get fined if we say something about it,” Adebayo said. “But that altered the game. When you alter the game, you should have to, like, stand on that. Because when we mess up, when we make mistakes, when we miss stuff, all hell breaks loose on us. We got people blaming us for everything. And then on the other side, I felt like they had a five-second call that wasn’t called. That altered the game.”
