The Miami Heat rallied to eliminate the Charlotte Hornets and advance to the second round of the playoffs in the first of two decisive NBA game sevens on Sunday. The Heat routed the Hornets 106-73 in Miami to improve to 6-3 overall in game sevens after trailing at one point in the series three games to two. Point guard Goran Dragic had a game-high 25 points for the Heat who never trailed and will now face the winner of Sunday's game seven between the Toronto Raptors and Indiana Pacers.
