No one expected this start. The Miami Heat fell way behind an undermanned Charlotte Hornets team that had just lost by 47 on its home floor -- and after tying the game late, let it slip away.

There's been plenty of talk about how dynamic the Miami Heat defense would be this season, and there it was passive and porous in the opening loss to Minnesota. How much of this was the drop scheme?

That went about as poorly as it could have. Giannis scored plenty in his first Miami Heat regular season game.... but the Heat's defense was subpar throughout against Anthony Edwards (45 points) and others, and then the offense collapsed also.
