The New Orleans Hornets came out gunning to take control 45-33 midway in the second quarter against the sluggish Miami Heat who were playing their 3rd game in 4 nights. Then Dwyane Wade had enough and went on a scoring spree, scoring 11 straight points to almost single-handedly erase the deficit to put up the heat 51-49 by the end of the first half. Then the Heat, inspired from their Captains play, took care of the rest to beat the Hornets 109-95.
