WATCH Bobcats vs. Heat LIVE STREAM online, NBA 2014: TV schedule, time, listen to live feed and coverage from Miami
The Charlotte Bobcats vs. the Miami Heat battle it out on the court at AmericaAirlines Arena in Miami on Monday, March 3 at 7:30 p.m. EST. Read on to see where fans can watch and listen to a live stream of the Monday night basketball game online and catch up-to-date feeds and coverage on highlight plays and scores.
The Bobcats currently hold the no. 16 spot in Josh Martin's NBA power rankings for Bleacher Report with a 27-32 winning record:
I don't know how many times this season I've referred to the Charlotte Bobcats as "the real deal," though this seems as good a time as any to repeat that familiar refrain. The 'Cats have won their last four games in a row to move within three games of the .500 mark and, more importantly, out of the dreaded bottom two in the Eastern Conference.
Al Jefferson has been integral to Charlotte's rise, though the team's latest win-a 92-89 nail-biter against the Memphis Grizzlies-was largely a credit to Kemba Walker. The feisty point guard tallied 31 points, eight rebounds and five assists to bolster what would ultimately be a winning case for Eastern Conference Player of the Week.
It would come as no shock, though, if Charlotte fell off a bit in the week to come. Its next four games: at San Antonio, at Oklahoma City, at Miami and home to Indiana.
In the immortal words of Dethklok, brutal.
Meanwhile, the Heat snag the no. 1 spot with an impressive 42-14 winning record (out of 30 teams):
If wearing a protective mask on his face was a hindrance for LeBron James, he certainly didn't show it. In his first game since getting raked across the face by Serge Ibaka, James piled up 31 points on an uber-efficient 13-of-19 shooting to go along with four rebounds, four assists and just one turnover.
Of course, it helps that James was matched up against the hapless Knicks. Still, he came to play when his team needed him to, using a 12-point third quarter to help the Heat pull away after a closer-than-expected first half.
That performance pushed LeBron's averages for the month of February to 30.8 points (on 57.5 percent shooting), 8.1 rebounds and 6.7 assists.
Not bad for a guy who's supposedly still playing second fiddle to Kevin Durant in the MVP race...or is he?
The game will be broadcasted live on local channels SPSO and Sun Sports, but fans can also listen in on the radio at WFNZ 'The Fan', ESPN 730, ESPN 760, and 940 WINZ.
