The Miami Heat defeated the Charlotte Hornets 126–108 on November 7 at Kaseya Center, with Nikola Powell and Andrew Wiggins leading the way for the hosts with 25 and 22 points respectively. Miami's offense operated efficiently, shooting 51.5 percent from the field and connecting on 12 three-pointers while committing just 8 turnovers against Charlotte's 18 miscues. The Heat's defense proved suffocating, holding the Hornets to 38.1 percent shooting and forcing them into a third-quarter collapse—Charlotte managed just 19 points in that frame after scoring 36 in the second quarter. Despite out-rebounding Miami 57–37, the Hornets couldn't overcome the offensive discrepancy; Keon Knueppel led Charlotte with 30 points and Terance Mann added 20, but the supporting cast couldn't generate enough firepower. Miami's 117.6 offensive rating and stingy 100.1 defensive rating showcased the kind of two-way balance needed in the Eastern Conference race. The Heat's ability to clamp down defensively after halftime should provide momentum as the season progresses.
