The Hornets overcame their first unit's sluggish night on offense with a stellar effort from their bench in a win against the Heat. Jeremy Lamb, Marco Belinelli, Spencer Hawes and Cody Zeller all hit double digits in the scoring column, helping make up for the starters' 46 - point tally. More than half that total was amassed by Kemba Walker, who managed 24 points. Nicolas Batum was the only other starter to register double - digit scoring, supplying 12 points. The Heat greatly benefited from a trademark 20 - point, 15 - rebound double - double from Hassan Whiteside, but also saw him, Goran Dragic and Justise Winslow all turn the ball over four times each. In all, the Heat were guilty of 20 turnovers, leading to 22 points for the Hornets. Conversely, they only prompted eight turnovers in their own right, leading to the evaporation of a 57 - 46 halftime lead.
