Al Jefferson scores 25 points on 12-of-17 shooting, Hornets down 0-2
Charlotte Hornets forward/center Al Jefferson came to play in Game 2, making 12-of-17 shots to finish with 25 points, seven boards, one assist and one steal in just 27 minutes off the bench.
What It Means:
Jefferson's full array of post moves were on display Wednesday night, and he scored 16 points in the second quarter alone, helping to keep Charlotte close despite red-hot shooting from the Heat. His offense won't mean much if the Hornets don't tighten up defensively for Saturday's game in Time Warner Cable Arena, where they went 30-11 during the regular season.
Jefferson ranked 69th with a 1.1 nERD on the year. Through two playoff games, he's averaging 19.0 points and 6.0 boards on 64.0 percent shooting from the field.
