MIAMI (AP) — Duncan Robinson scored 23 points, Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Kyle Lowry each added 17 and the Miami Heat defeated the Charlotte Hornets 115-104 on Wednesday to complete a two-game sweep at home.
Lowry was perfect shooting, 5 of 5 from the field, 4 of 4 in triples and 3 of 3 from the line. Jimmy Butler had 15 points and 10 assists, and Jamal Cain added 14 points for the Heat. Thomas Bryant finished with 11.
Terry Rozier scored 28 points for Charlotte, which got 20 points from Gordon Hayward, 19 from Miles Bridges and 18 from Brandon Miller.
The Heat had a 45-13 advantage in bench points and a massive advantage in points off turnovers. He turned 21 Charlotte turnovers into 32 points, while the Hornets took advantage of Miami’s season-high 22 turnovers on just 13 points.
The Heat were again without Bam Adebayo (hip), Haywood Highsmith (back) and Tyler Herro (ankle), plus Josh Richardson was out due to illness. There would be a chance Herro could return soon, given that he posted a video of himself at the Heat game from the court on Tuesday night.
