In Game 1 of the Eastern Conference First Round playoff series between the Miami Heat and Charlotte Hornets, Heat center Hassan Whiteside was a big problem for Charlotte. Thanks to his size and length, Whiteside was able to bother a plethora of Hornets shots inside the paint, making it tough for the Hornets to get open looks elsewhere as the Heat did not need to help as often. On the other end of the floor Whiteside was just as good, rolling through the lane and finishing well enough to finish the game with 21 points in 26 minutes.
In Game 2 on Wednesday night, Whiteside picked up right where he left off, with some help from teammate Dwyane Wade.

Finishing lobs is hard enough but doing it in traffic with a reverse dunk is pretty impressive. It also shows exactly the problem that Charlotte is having with Whiteside as his size and length allowed him to finish the play so easily.
Before foul trouble sent him to the bench early in the first quarter, Whiteside was again dominating Charlotte with six points and three rebounds in seven minutes on perfect 3-3 shooting from the field.
