Grayson Allen hits a grenade three and draws the foul (hit the free throw) as the crowd erupts as loud as it has in the last 24 hours with the Hornets now up 108-104 with 3:19 left.
Naz Reid does many things, but one thing that will be able to help the Hornets this year is holding his ground in the post against players like Giannis, as he forces him to travel in this possession.
Miami fans thought this would be a get-right game for the Heat, but it might turn out to be quite the opposite. Hornets up by seven with 4:29 left in the second quarter, looking much better than last night.
Hornets definitely bringing a stronger defensive intensity, but have already racked up 10 fouls in the first quarter.
Good news: Christian Anderson Jr. checked in at the 6:19 mark of the first quarter. Bad news: He got trapped and turned the ball over.

The Hornets’ 47-point loss (128–81) to the Hawks was the worst home-opening defeat in franchise history, surpassing their 40-point loss to Cleveland in their inaugural home opener in 1988. Not a great way to open the season at home. Hopefully, they can bounce back against Miami.
