Miami leads 3-2


CHA:MIA
92:82 OVR

Playoff life on the line today, but its ok because we never lose in Miami!

First Quarter

Charlotte 23
Miami 22

Padgett starts out 5-6 before missing his last 4 shots of the quarter, still he's 5-10 plus a couple FT's for 12 points. Mayo has 5, Sparks 4. Felton had a dunk attempt blocked on our last possession of the quarter and he's scoreless. Wade is the go to guy for Miami again, scoring 13, a few of them on plays where we just had zero chance to stop him. The rest of their scoring is balanaced, one bucket for 4 different guys. We drew 2 fouls on Jermaine O'Neal by going inside, forcing Miami to their bench early.


Second Quarter

Charlotte 56
Miami 36

We win the quarter 33-14!! Wade sits for the first 6 minutes and Mayo takes advantage big time. At one point with about 7 minutes left it was 32-28, Mayo scored 9 in a row in about 45 seconds and we were off to the races. Its a 19 point quarter for him, Mayo 25, Padgett 14(1-3 shooting), Sparks 8 points/7 boards, no one else more than 3. Wade leads Miami still but only has 15. Sloan 5, no one else more than 4.


Third Quarter

Charlotte 78
Miami 57

Padgett carries us this quarter, guess it'll be Mayo's turn in the 4th. Padgett scores 16 this quarter and has 30 points/9 boards. Mayo 27, Sparks 8 points/9 boards. Wade goes scoreless in the 3rd(wtf). Sloan 17, Wade 15.


Fourth Quarter

5:30 to go - Our backups play the first 6 minutes, they hold up for the most part but Miami just scored a quick four and cut our lead to 13. Its 85-72, our starters are back in.

3:45 to go - oh lord, Wade just decided he's not missing anymore. Its 85-78, 6 straight for Wade.

3:35 to go - Mayo wakes up and dunks on Jermaine O'Neal and gets a 3 point play, 88-78.

1:45 to go - Wade and Mayo are dueling it out, which is to our advantage since we have the lead. Its 92-82. Mayo has our last 7, Wade has Miami's last 10.

The defenses pick up, Mayo blocks Wade but misses a 3 on the other end, by the time either team scores again its over.

Charlotte 96
Miami 84



Mayo: 38 points
Padgett: 33 points/10 boards
Sparks: 8 points/11 boards
Henderson: 5 points
Wallace: 4 points/6 boards
Chandler: 4 points/4 boards
Felton: 4 points/4 assists
Swanson: 0 points/5 assists


Wade scores 27 points and dishes out 6 assists. Sloan 21, O'Neal 10 points/11 boards. We just completely took over in the 2nd quarter and never really looked back. I waited about 1 minute too long to get my starters back in in the 4th and that made it slightly exciting but we easily take this thing to a 7th game.
