cha 123, mia 111   21nov92

Sorry I didnt get a pre-game report out this time. (Those triple-overtime
games take a lot out of you ;-)

Out due to injury: (cha)Newman - hand; (mia)Smith - knee

MISSING - I dont got no steenkin' officials.

Technical foul: Charlotte - Illegal defense

Despite 32pts by (mia)Rice, 16rbs by Seikaly, career-high 8 assists and season-
high 20pts by Salley, plus 54pct team-shooting; the Hornets' defense determined
the outcome: Charlotte 123, Miami 111.

   The Heat took an early Q1 lead, and (cha)Bogues was the only full-time
Hornets' starter to score in the quarter. But their bench was hot, and Miami
trailed by 2 at halftime. (mia)Shaw's shooting helped keep the game within
reach in Q3, with Salley's creative passing and Rice's shooting and stamina.
   In Q4 Miami came within 102-101 on nice passes: Shaw to Askins to Salley for
the dunk. And when 1st-rookie-to-take-NBA-Player-of-the-week-in-his-1st-week
(cha)Alonzo Mourning triggered an 8-0 run with his lead layup, (mia)Rice
sank a jumper to bring the Heat within 5pts at 3:25. But 5'3" (cha)Bogues
snatched the games biggest offensive rebound and tossed out to (cha)Curry,
alone at the 3pt circle. He sank his shot, and sank the Heat.
   "It was the best defense we've ever played since the organization began
playing," Hornets' coach Allan Bristow. "The loose balls they got were the
difference." Heat coach Kevin Loughery.
   The Heat played a tough game, but just coudn't make the late-game rallies
they needed. "We expected the long game to have an effect" (mia)coach Loughery.
"But I don't think anyone was thinking about last night," said (mia)Seikaly,
who played 40min tonight after 46min last night. (mia)Rice played 41min the
night after a team-record 59min in last night's 63min game. Yet he made his 1st
9 shots and went 3-3 in 3FGs. "My legs were a little sore."
   (mia)Burton asked to sit the 2nd half because of a sore knee which may keep
him out until it heals. And it turned out that (mia)Coles broke his nose Friday
when he was viciously hacked by (phi)Wilkins in Q2. He wore a mask tonight.
With (mia)coach Loughery still juggling the team, Edwards sat out for the 1st
time this season.
   After Friday's games, (mia)Seikaly ranks #9 among NBA scorers (23.9ppg), and
#7 in NBA rbs (11.6 per game).
