JEREMY Lin scored 18 points and Kemba Walker had 17 as Charlotte beat Miami 96-80 on Saturday to snap a 12-game playoff losing streak and earn its first postseason victory in 14 years.
Rookie Frank Kaminsky scored eight of his 15 points during an 18-0 run in the third quarter that broke open a 53-all game. The Heat lead the series 2-1.
