Miami Heat blow another late lead, third collapse in nine days

The Miami Heat squandered a double-digit fourth-quarter lead for the third time in nine days, falling 105-102 to Charlotte

The Miami Heat squandered a double-digit fourth-quarter lead for the third time in nine days, falling 105-102 to Charlotte. Erik Spoelstra’s squad now faces a tough playoff battle.

Leading by 11 points late against the Hornets, the Heat suffered yet another collapse, mirroring losses to Chicago and New York. With a 9-18 record in their last 27 games, Miami has struggled to close games and now sits ninth in the East, likely headed for the play-in tournament. “We just have to stay together and push through this tough time,” said Tyler Herro. But with Cleveland and Boston looming, their postseason hopes are in serious jeopardy.
