On November 27, 2024, in an NBA game played in the United States, the Miami Heat secured a victory over the Charlotte Hornets with a final score of 98-94. Tyler Herro was instrumental in this result, scoring 27 points and making crucial plays that helped the Heat fend off a late comeback attempt by the Hornets. Duncan Robinson also contributed significantly with 22 points, including six 3-pointers, helping to establish a lead early in the game. The game was close throughout, with the Hornets managing to come back from a 20-point deficit at one point during the match. LaMelo Ball of the Hornets stood out with 32 points and 10 rebounds, despite a wrist injury affecting his performance. The team rallied and even took the lead late in the game, thanks to rookie Tidjane Salaun, who scored a career-high 17 points, including a critical 3-pointer with just 42 seconds left. However, Herro's timely response with a 3-pointer allowed the Heat to regain the lead. In the final moments of the game, Miami’s defense held firm, even as the Hornets tried to find opportunities to tie or win the game. Ultimately, Cody Martin of the Hornets was fouled but missed both of his free throws, sealing the victory for Miami.

Jimmy Butler's injury is also a concern for the Heat moving forward, as he was unable to participate in the crucial fourth quarter of the game due to back issues.
