The Miami Heat collapse against the Charlotte Hornets, with Bam Adebayo’s absence exposing just how far Kel'el Ware still has to go in his development. Wes Goldberg and David Ramil dissect the Heat’s 136-106 blowout loss, spotlighting the impact of Miami’s poor defense and abysmal three-point shooting. Key topics include Norm Powell’s post-All-Star struggles and how Bam Adebayo’s injury altered Miami’s pick-and-roll coverage.
