Charlotte Bobcats vs. Miami Heat preview -- Game 32
Remember when the Miami Heat were struggling? Yeah, that didn't last. I'm still not convinced that their lack of interior defense won't be a problem in the playoffs, but there really isn't anything non-elite teams like the Bobcats can do to deal with them other than shoot the lights out, like the Warriors did for one half on New Year's Day.
