Charlotte Hornets Take Control Of Series

The Charlotte Hornets took a big step forward in winning their series against the Miami Heat.

The crowd was stunned in Miami when Courtney Lee drilled a three pointer to put the Charlotte Hornets in the lead 90-88 which ended up being the final score.

Of course there was a little controversy at the end with Dwyane Wade crying for a foul call on what looked like good defense. If you want to see the Wade most fans know well just youtube search “Wade Sessions” and you will see some wild stuff (parental advisory). Even with Wade doing his usual and the Miami crowd crying for foul calls the Hornets pushed forward to another victory.

Now it is on to Charlotte to try to clinch the series. One thing to look for is Kemba Walker having a bounce back game. In game five of the series Walker struggled badly with his shot and did not show up. It is rare for this to happen in back to back games and expect Walker to have a huge game Friday.

This will be the biggest game in over a decade for the Hornets franchise and the crowd will be rocking without a doubt. The team needs to show up and get rid of the Heat. Outside of Walker the Hornets will need Jeremy Lin to show up because their penetration into the paint is killing the Heat. The fact that the Hornets can shoot the three ball allows easier lanes to drive into.

Walker and Lin are a perfect poison for the Heat’s defense. They can pull up on a dime and shoot the three ball. They also can drive into the paint and make difficult shots.

Next: Lee and Williams Get Game 5 Victory

Game Six will be a game where defense will win the ball game for the Hornets. If they eliminate turnovers and shoot the three ball good they will win Friday. I see that happening and my score prediction is 93-108.
