In an interview after the game, Walker said that he and Jeremy just love playing with each other. He said that they just feed off on the energy of each other. He said Lin was super-aggressive making plays early on the game and when he got a little tired, it was his turn to go.
With two days break before their fifth Game, both coaches Erik Spoelstra of the Miami Heat and Steve Clifford of the Charlotte Hornets, undoubtedly two of the better bench tacticians in the NBA today, have a good amount of time to sift through game tapes and strategize.
While the Hornets committed only nine turnovers during the game, the Heat’s pressure defense and long arms took the Hornets out of their comfort zones repeatedly.
Analysts think that Miami should do a better job of keeping both Kemba Walker and Jeremy Lin from their incursions into the lane.
Because if Game 5 turns out to be another Kemba Walker and Jeremy Lin show in Miami, the Heat will have to give up their hopes of getting deep into the playoffs in the absence of LeBron James. Because for sure, the Hornets would sting and swarm on them like hell when they return to the Time Warner Cable arena in North Carolina for Game 6.
