The Miami Heat ( 35 - 43 ) defeated the Charlotte Hornets ( 33 - 44 ) 105 - 100 on Tuesday at American Airlines Arena in Miami . With just four games left in the season following this one , this was another huge win for the Heat , who have now moved just a half game back from the Boston Celtics for the eighth and final projected playoff seed in the Eastern Conference standings . They had previously lost four in a row and seven of their last ten , so this was a huge sigh of relief for the Heat . Conversely , it was very tough loss for the Hornets , who also remain in reach of that final playoff spot . The loss brings them to two games back from the Celtics , so they 're officially in desperation mode for their final five outings . The Heat were the superior shooters in this game , going 49 percent from the field , while the Hornets finished at 43 percent . They were led by point guard Goran Dragic , who scored a team - high of 28 points ( 10 - 16 FG , 0 - 2 3Pt , 8 - 8 FT ) , to go along with five assists and two steals . His shot looks to be dialed in at the moment , as he 's combined to shoot an impressive 16 - for - 26 from the field to score 43 points over his last two games . Luol Deng also played a big factor in the win . He posted 21 points ( 9 - 17 FG , 1 - 6 3Pt , 2 - 2 FT ) and six rebounds , while playing 41 minutes . After recording just three points on 1 - of - 8 shooting from the field in Sunday 's game against the Pacers , he got back on track with this line , and the Heat will need him to continue to stay hot if they want to push themselves into the playoffs . Dwyane Wade had a strong showing as well with 19 points ( 6 - 17 FG , 0 - 1 3Pt , 7 - 10 FT ) and five assists . He did have a season - high of seven turnovers though , so it was n't all good for the guard . It was Gerald Henderson that kept the Hornets close though . Henderson went 11 - for - 18 from the field and 2 - for - 3 from the three - point line to score a game - high of 29 points before fouling out . It was his second highest points total of the season , as he was able to shoot higher than 60 percent from the floor . Kemba Walker had decent showing as well . In 39 minutes , he finished with 17 points ( 7 - 20 FG , 0 - 4 3Pt , 3 - 5 FT ) , four assists and three steals . He 's now combined for 41 points and six assists over his last two games , but he 'll need to do even more if the Hornets want any chance at sneaking into the playoffs . Recording a double - double , Bismack Biyombo chipped in with 12 points ( 4 - 6 FG , 4 - 6 FT ) , 12 rebounds and four blocked shots . Getting the start and extended playing time with both Al Jefferson and Cody Zeller sidelined , Biyombo was able to record one of his better statistical outings of the season . Mo Williams added 15 points ( 5 - 17 FG , 0 - 4 3Pt , 5 - 5 FT ) and four assists off the bench . The Heat 's next game will be at home against the Chicago Bulls on Thursday , while the Hornets will be at home against the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday .
