If the Hornets win the showdown against the Heat, the Hornets can defeat the Kings and advance to the playoffs.However, if the Hornets lose this game.That's about it for the Hornets this season.They can go to Hawaii for vacation tomorrow.

In the first matchup between the Hornets and the Heat this season, the Hornets ended in failure.The first matchup with the Heat was Jack's debut.However, Jack's debut did not go very well.The Hornets were ravaged by the Heat in that game.

It's no wonder that the Hornets, the Heat at that time had a lineup that everyone envied in the league.Moreover, when the Hornets met, they finally finished running in after more than a month of regular season.At this time, the Hornets just met the Heat.There is no way that the Hornets can only become a test stone for the Heat.

The Heat are a very competitive team. If it weren't for the running-in period in the first half of the season, it would be hard to say who is the boss of the Eastern Conference?
The team consisting of Shaquille O'Neal, Glove Gary Payton, Iron Man Mourning, White Chocolate Jason Williams, Flash Wade, etc., is an extremely terrifying existence in the entire league.Moreover, after a season of running-in, the cooperation between the players has become more and more tacit.
