Miami Heat 115-104 Charlotte Hornets: Quick Takes

welcome back to the five on the floor quick takes post game after another Hornets lost to the heat um for the heat to beat the to beat the Hornets two straight times um it's kind of a big deal like I feel like they never do this uh historically is a this is a team that has given them trouble in the regular season by the way I'm Alex too no Brady Hawk here no Ethan skick um you know and for them to kind of I feel like not really play their game obviously they already missing bam they're already missing Tyler uh Missing High Smith and the he got beat in stuff that usually is the things that like really helps them win games when it comes to turnovers right like they both teams really turn the ball over a lot right both teams finish the 21 points I mean excuse me 21 turnovers the difference was the Hornets also beat you at your own game when it comes to points off turnovers where you got smacked there by 19 if you're the heat the difference was the heat were able to grab more rebounds I think I rebounded them by like 16 which is not usually a strength like that where you're outrebounding a team by that much um for the heat not only that you know hitting eight more free throws hitting a few more threes those are the types of things that kind of got them through the night and mostly the second and third quarter I think is were really solidified for them where I believe they um outscored the Hornets by combined 22 points in the second and third quarters um and then by the time the fourth quarter came through it was just like a cushion that was built didn't need to bring uh Jimmy back into the game and that's usually the indicator of whether or not a game is going really really well for them um you know so it was cool for Jimmy to get some rest on the first night of a back toback they're going to play the Bulls tomorrow uh and then again a couple of nights after that so definitely good for Jimmy to get some rest he he didn't have to do too much tonight although you know low scoring night 15 points but he did give you 10 assists um Duncan another big game 23 points uh 63 six of nine from three if I remember correctly you also got uh pretty solid contributions from uh Jamal Kan you know for him stepping into the road R ation with Josh Richardson out on top of everything um he didn't have like an amazing game but he still finds ways to contribute with the rebounding with kind of you know the the cuts he wasn't making the threes but was still able to do stuff out there uh you also got another great game out of hak just an allaround statline you know points rebounds assists he's giving you that every game now like the guy is just making things happen out there on the floor the way he gets it to the you know to the basket the way he gets to his spot and plays his game cuz assistly on a night toight basis at the NBA level it's just it's crazy man it's it's really crazy to see shout out to those guys and shout out to Thomas Bryant too who gave you a big game you know for his standard somebody who's kind of found himself outside of the rotation even with bam out because of love in Orlando taking up most of those minutes gave you 11 to n tonight in a limited amount of time so uh good for him good you know good to see him give you something out there when his number was called and a big night for Kyle Lowry 17 points man I just saw him and Jimmy speaking out there those guys are still great friends um The Vibes seem to be up right now this team knows they're pretty good so um yeah there you go the Heat beat the ish Smith Le Hornets twice in a row I mean what an accomplishment but in all seriousness check out the new five on the floor heading your way in a few minutes up on all the podcast feeds check out our Discord which the link is in the description of every five on the floor episode and yeah thank you for guys thank you guys for tuning in have a good night
