NBA Playoffs: When is Heat vs. Hornets Game 4?

A look at when to catch Heat vs. Hornets Game 4 in the Eastern Conference first round of the 2016 NBA Playoffs

The Miami Heat and Charlotte Hornets looked to give one another a great challenge in the first round of the 2016 NBA Playoffs out of the Eastern Conference. The two teams had been jostling for position in the standings for much of the season and following them into the postseason was something intriguing to many NBA fans.

However, the Heat came out showing their experience in the NBA Playoffs on their home floor as they won the first two games in convincing fashion. Even more deflating for the upstart Hornets, though, was the fact that they lost one of their key components for their success in the second half of their Game 2 loss as Nicolas Batum went down with an ankle injury.

Even without one of their biggest weapons on both ends of the floor, though, the Hornets weren’t ready to make their exit from the NBA Playoffs just yet as the series headed to Charlotte for Game 3. With Buzz City behind them, Kemba Walker and Jeremy Lin went off in a big way—even with the help of rookie Frank Kaminsky as well in the second half—to ultimately pull away and pull out their first victory of the series.

This all obviously makes things all the more intriguing for Game 4 of this NBA Playoffs series as the Hornets can tie the series up with another performance like the one on Saturday afternoon on their home court. Contrarily, the Heat could put Charlotte away with a win.

As such, fans won’t want to miss Game 4. To make sure that happens, be sure to tune into NBA TV on Monday, April 25 at 7 p.m. ET as that’s when the action will be going down in Charlotte.
