It was the Hornets' fewest points scored this season and the biggest home loss since a 26-point setback to Orlando in Charlotte on Feb. 6, 2001.
Former Hornet Eddie Jones scored eight of his 24 points during the 20-0 fourth-quarter burst and rookie Udonis Haslem matched a season high with 20 points for the Heat, who had lost seven in a row to the Hornets and six straight on the road in the series.
"Udonis had a fabulous game, Eddie had a fabulous game and everybody played well," Heat coach Stan Van Gundy said. "That's what we need to do. You've got a team right now that is just focused on winning. They played very hard and very well."
Miami never trailed but held just a 72-67 edge before Odom's 3-pointer with 6:17 remaining. The Hornets did not score until Tierre Brown split a pair of free throws with 1:40 remaining that made it 92-68.
"We knew that once we got up that they were going to make a run. It was a question of how we were going to react to the run that was made," Haslem said. "We made some shots and made a run of our own at the end."
The bulge was 78-67 when Odom and New Orleans rookie David West were assessed double technicals for a scrum while chasing a rebound.
"It happens. It's part of the competition," Odom said. "It probably fired all of us up a little bit."
"I liked the toughness, but what I even liked more than that, that it was a toughness that got us back into playing the game," Van Gundy said. "A lot of times it can be a toughness where you get more concerned with hitting the guy back and being more physical than the other guy rather than playing the game. We played the game and closed it out nicely. I was happy with that."
The Heat reeled off the game's next 14 points in just 3:23.
"After Lamar got in a little trouble, I think we went to the line five straight times," Jones said. "That's when we started opening the game up. We started getting easy baskets. It's like that when you run in transition. I think what happened with Lamar energized us and gave us a little more life."
The Hornets did not have a basket from West's layup with 7:33 remaining to Steve Smith's uncontested layup with 3.1 seconds left.
"For whatever reason, we did not have as much energy as we had at Philadelphia (in Friday's 85-82 loss)," Hornets coach Tim Floyd said. "Maybe it's the back-to-back, maybe it's the amount of minutes that guys are playing."
Former Heat forward Jamal Mashburn scored 19 points but was the only player in double figures for the Hornets, who were without injured guards Baron Davis (sprained ankle) and David Wesley (sprained toe).
"They had a couple of guys missing," Van Gundy said. "We've been on the other side of that. But you've got to take advantage of those kinds of situations, and we did."
