Another injury thrusted Kai Jones into the #Hornets lineup. It’s up to him to take advantage.
“For sure,” he told me, “just to gain the trust of the coaching staff and the organization, show them that I’m ready.”

“It feels great to make those plays and to have those plays end up in a win. It was electric in there for sure. The fans were loud. It was a great environment, so I think just finding a way to win was really the biggest thing.” – 11:06 PM

The seventh-place Heat is now 2.5 games behind the sixth-place Knicks in the East standings. With 21 games left to play, the Heat is going to need to turn this around quickly to avoid the play-in tournament. – 10:36 PM

What Heat really need this summer is a really good player to try to force his way here. Hasn’t happened since Butler and who knows when or if it will happen again. Team well over next season’s cap and has OK, but not great, trade assets. A vexing puzzle. – 9:41 PM

Interesting how Clifford hasn’t switched up the coverage on the Butler iso to help Hayward out with 5 fouls. Also, this shows how the roster desperately needs a wing defender in the starting unit. If Hayward is your best option on a Primary option wing, that will cause issues… – 9:27 PM

The Heat is shooting 7 of 33 from the field and 1 of 11 from three-point range. Hornets ahead 42-22.
Heat currently with an offensive rating of 61.1 points scored per 100 possessions tonight. That’s in the NBA’s zero percentile for the season, in case you’re wondering. – 7:50 PM

Looking more & more like the Hornets won’t be 1 of the 3 teams w/ the best Lottery odds.
Not a surprise, because they have the best veteran talent among the bottom 4. But they’re actually starting to play like it now. – 7:42 PM

An example of the progress LaMelo Ball has made defensively during the second half of the season. Fantastic defense chasing Robinson who’s an elite off ball mover off screens. He then helps on Bam and finally finishes the possession by grabbing the rebound pic.twitter.com/eZVaDMiJSQ – 7:42 PM
