Game of the Night: Miami Heat 93 VS New Orleans Hornets 96
The last shot on a star studded team goes to... Eddie House? Dwayne Wade had the chance to take a shot and decided to pass to Eddie House. I really don't know what to think of the loss. You could have passed it to LeBron, or even Chris Bosh who hit a big three to bring them to 93 points. I get that he was open and that he is a long range shooter but you have to realize who has the hot hand. House went 0-7 from distance last night. Wade led the team with 28 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks. LeBron James had a decent night with 20 points, 7 rebounds, 10 assists, 3 steals and a block. Chris Bosh added 15 points in the loss.
LBJ turnover watch: 29 in six games.
The now 5-0 Hornets were determined to set the tone right out of the gate. They jumped out to a 14-4 lead and never looked back only giving up the lead once late in the game. Free throws were huge for New Orleans down the stretch and eventually sealed the game for them. The Hornets were led by Emeka Okafor who had a huge night. Emeka had a team high 26 points and 13 rebounds. He added an assist and a block as well. The most impressive aspect of his night was his 12-13 shooting from the floor. Shooting 92% from the floor definitely helped the Hornets secure the big win at home against a dangerous Heat team. Chris Paul had 13 points, 2 rebounds, 19 assists and 5 steals. Trevor Ariza added 13 points and 6 rebounds in the effort. Ariza also hit a couple big 3's to cool off the Heat.
