Can the Hornets pose a threat to the Heat? The Miami Heat and Charlotte Hornets will play in the first round in a three-six matchup. This is not a usual Eastern Conference three=six matchup, as the Heat and Hornets actually ended up with identical 48-34 records.

That year the Heat were the top seed in the East on their way to a fourth straight finals…
