HEAT POSTCAST: Wiggins GOES OFF, Heat SNAP 10-Game L Streak with 122-105 Dub Over Charlotte Hornets

Andrew Wiggins went off for a season-best 42 points, leading the Heat to an exciting 122-105 win over the Charlotte Hornets that snapped Miami’s 10-game losing streak that started all the way back in March 5th at Cleveland.
 

Wiggins- the former #1 pick of the NBA Draft by the T’Wolves AND an NBA Champ + All-Star with the Warriors- scorched the nets on Pat Riley Court with a masterful 16-of-21 shooting clinic. Wiggins made 6 of his 8 3-pointers.
 

Wiggins’ 42 points are the second-highest scoring game of his career, and the highest total a Heat player has posted this season.
 

Tyler Herro- who has scored 40+ points 3 times this season himself- threw in 29 points for Miami, shooting 11-19 and 2-5 from 3.
 

Nick Smith Jr scored 19 points and LaMelo Ball added 18 points and 11 assists for Charlotte.
 

The Hornets led by 12 points early, but the Heat ripped off a 22-2 run (including a 15-0 spurt) in a 37-point 2nd quarter to close the 1st half with a 57-47 lead. Miami shot 10-14 over that stretch, while holding Charlotte to 1-10 shooting.
 

Wiggins scored 15 points in Miami’s 39-point 3rd quarter to pretty much put the game away.
 

The Heat eliminated the Hornets from playoff contention with the win.
 

Nikola Jovic, the Heat’s talented young forward, has missed 15 games over the last 4 weeks with a broken shooting hand, is close to making his return.
 

Miami’s 10-game L-streak tied the 6th-longest in the Heat’s history. The longest was 17.
