MIAMI — Clogging defense by Miami in the final 15.4 seconds of the game, after an answered prayer from Udonis Haslem, proved to be a streak-buster Sunday both for the Hornets and the Heat.
Haslem’s bank shot as the 24-second clock wound down gave Miami a 102-101 lead, and the Heat foiled the Hornets’ plan for a winning 3-point attempt from Peja Stojakovic, leaving the shot for David West, who was unsuccessful in his first attempt and a follow-up.
The result was a one-point Miami victory that snapped the Heat’s three-game losing streak. It also stopped the Hornets’ three-game winning streak.
