Luol Deng scores 26: Christ Bosh and Mario Chalmers add double-double to lead Heat to win over Hornets

The Miami Heat came into this game with a 7-6 record just one game above .500 . Yes this isn't exactly the same team as last year do to the loss of Lebron James. I do feel though the Heat will find ways to win and finish at least top six in the Eastern Conference. On Sunday the Miami Heat edged out the Charlotte Hornets ( and I almost still am calling them the Bobcats), 94-93. Luol Deng lead the way with 26 points. Chris Bosh and Mario Chalmers added 20 points a piece. Here are the stats for each team.
