The Charlotte Hornets evened their Eastern Conference first - round series against the Miami Heat with an 89 - 85 win Monday night in Game 4 at Time Warner Cable Arena. With Nicolas Batum out again, both Kemba Walker and Jeremy Lin had to be prepared for another dose of increased offensive responsibility. Just as in Game 3, they were more than up for the task, scoring 55 of the Hornets' 89 points. However, it was starting two - guard Courtney Lee who came up with two of the biggest non - scoring plays of the night, hauling in two key offensive rebounds in the fourth quarter that helped extend possessions when Miami was threatening. The second of those boards came with four seconds left and also drew a key loose ball foul from Luol Deng, giving Lee the opportunity to drain two pivotal free throws that helped seal the victory. The Hornets played suffocating defense as well over all four quarters, elicting 17 turnovers from the Heat and holding them under 40 percent from both the field and three - point range. Miami was led by Joe Johnson, who managed 16 points, seven rebounds, two assists and a block. Luol Deng was next with 15 points, seven rebounds and two assists. Goran Dragic and Dwyane Wade turned in a pair of 12 point - efforts, with the former also supplying three rebounds, three assists and a steal, and the latter dishing out 10 assists, hauling in seven boards and recording two blocks. Hassan Whiteside notably only contributed eight points, seven rebounds and three blocks over 25 minutes. Walker's 34 - point total led all scorers, and he supplemented it with four rebounds, an assist, three steals and a pair of blocks. Lee was the only other member of the starting five to hit double - digit scoring, totaling 11 points, four rebounds, a steal and a block. Lin paced the reserves with 21 points, three assists and two steals. Among the starting five, Marvin Williams went scoreless over 37 minutes but brought down seven rebounds, handed out two assists and recorded a steal and a block. The series now shifts back to South Florida, where Game 5 will unfold on Wednesday night at American Airlines Arena.
