Watch: Hornets' Lee redeems himself by hitting clutch 3 over Heat
Entering Game 5 shooting just 16.7 percent from deep over the series' first four games, Charlotte Hornets shooting guard Courtney Lee couldn't have chosen a better time to heat up from beyond the arc.
Lee nailed a clutch three with just over 25 seconds left, giving the Hornets a two-point lead. Charlotte went on to win 90-88 to take a 3-2 series lead over its division rivals.

While Lee ended the hero, he could've easily been the goat.
The 30-year-old missed a wide-open layup with just over a minute remaining that would've given the Hornets the lead.
Upon replay, it appeared the Miami Heat's Dwyane Wade could've been called for goaltending on the play, but officials ended up swallowing their whistles.
