Miami Heat
Miami Heat (29-41) squandered another double digit lead to lose to the Houston Rockets 102-98 yesterday. The Heat lost for the 20th time after leading by double digits while recording a tenth consecutive loss. This is the Heat’s longest losing streak since the 2007-08 season when they went eleven games without a victory. Their poor run, which coincided with the acrimonious trade of Jimmy Butler to the Golden State Warriors, means that the Heat are 4-17 since Butler left officially on February 7. Andrew Wiggins, who came to the Heat from the Warriors as part of the Butler trade, scored 30 points against the Rockets for his highest return in his new club. Kel’el Ware finished with 16 points and 14 rebounds and Bam Adebayo contributed 16 for the Heat, who led 65-54 early in the third quarter.

The Charlotte Hornets (18-52) can’t wait for the season to end fast enough. While they may be out of any postseason exertions, the Hornets, who have four wins from their last ten, can impact who makes it to the play-in and playoffs. In the last couple of weeks, the Hornets have played against teams with postseason ambitions, beating the New York Knicks at home and losing to the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Los Angeles Clippers. Away in Oklahoma yesterday, the Hornets were thrashed 141-108 by the Western Conference leaders. Playing without their injured starters against OKC Thunder, Miles Bridges led the Hornets with 20 points and Nick Smith Jr. contributed 14 as the Hornets lost by 30 or more points for the sixth time recently.
