The Suns polished their unblemished record to 4-0 keeping the Hornets in the league cellar at 0-4.
In the nightcap, the Lakers stayed close to the Heat through the first half, even took a six-point lead midway through the first quarter, 22-16. The score was tied at 86 halfway through the final period, thanks in large part to a blitz of treys – three in a row – by John Healy. But that was the high water mark for the Lakers and the Heat turned it on to finish with a six-point edge, 98-92.
Jason Dyer (24), Damon Mello (24) and Brant Silvia (23) were hottest for the Heat.
John Healy (20), John LaBell (19), and Heath Estrella (15) paced the Lakers’ attack.
