Josh Green makes brief contribution in Hornets’ overtime win

Josh Green played five minutes for Charlotte as the Hornets edged the Miami Heat 127–126 after overtime. The Australian forward scored no points from one field-goal attempt, but collected one rebound, all on the offensive glass, and recorded no assists. He also finished with two personal fouls and a level plus-minus. Charlotte led 26–24 after the opening quarter and extended its advantage to 63–54 by half-time, but Miami responded in the fourth quarter, outscoring the Hornets 31–25 to force overtime. Charlotte then prevailed 13–12 in the extra period to secure the one-point victory.
