Hornets vs. Heat, NBA playoffs 2016: Time, TV schedule and live stream

The 2-2 series moves back to Miami for Game 5.

If the Hornets plan on knocking off the Heat, they're going to have to do something neither they nor Miami have done thus far this postseason: win a game on the road.

Behind 34 points from Kemba Walker and 21 from backup Jeremy Lin, Charlotte was able to defeat the Heat on Monday, 89-85. The victory was the team's second straight after the Heat had won the first two games last week on their home floor.

The series moves back to Miami on Wednesday, a change which the Heat no doubt hope will help them rediscover their outside touch. The team scored a total of 165 points in the two games in Charlotte after dropping 238 on the Hornets in Games 1 and 2.

No Miami player was effective in Game 4, but center Hassan Whiteside (eight points and seven redounds in 25 minutes) and Luol Deng (4-for-14 from the field) especially struggled. The Heat will need both to get back on track in order to advance past a tough Hornets team.
