Coach Luke Beveridge isnt worried about Western Bulldogs recent poor record in Perth, saying his AFL side wont focus on that trend, the venue or a raucous crowd on Thursday night.The Bulldogs have lost their past seven clashes in Western Australia, with the most recent being a 20-point loss to Fremantle in the final round of the regular season.The stretch includes four lopsided defeats to West Coast, who they face in an elimination final.We dont talk about that, Beveridge said of his sides losing streak at Domain Stadium.But that parochial home-ground advantage is there. Lets not dodge around the fact that there will be a pretty boisterous West Coast Eagles fan base and well have to deal with that.Well have to manage that and there are ways to do that.I dont think our players will be nervous about making mistakes. I dont think our players will be conscious of the crowd too much.The Bulldogs away form has been reasonable since Beveridge started his reign in 2015.Notably the Dogs have defeated minor premiers Sydney in their past two trips to the SCG, while this year they pipped Port Adelaide by three points at Adelaide Oval.We probably wont talk about that but its there in the memory banks, Beveridge said.That helps with your belief levels ... the boys will draw on some of that in their preparation.The Bulldogs have opted against training at Domain this week and instead plan on having a light run at the WACA.Most players are flying out a day later than usual and will arrive on Wednesday afternoon.Theres a couple of things that are different. Not as a knee-jerk reaction (to losing to the Dockers a fortnight ago), Beveridge said.Our of necessity more than anything, in timing our run to the game.Beveridge insisted belief wouldnt be an issue for the Bulldogs, who have been widely tipped to exit the premiership race in week one of the finals.We know that its going to be hard for West Coast to beat us ... well go in thinking were as good as anyone in the eight, he said.Beveridge is expected to recall Tom Liberatore.

MIAMI -- Kemba Walker already knows one thing about these Charlotte Hornets.Were resilient, Walker said.That was proven in earnest Friday night.Walker scored 24 points and the Hornets erased a 19-point deficit in the third quarter on the way to beating Miami 97-91. Charlotte won in the building where its season ended in Game 7 of a first-round matchup last spring, albeit against a very different Heat team that played a home opener without Dwyane Wade on the roster for the first time since 2002.We could have given up, but we didnt, Walker said. We kept wanting it.Hassan Whiteside led Miami with 20 points and 15 rebounds but sat a long stretch of the second half with foul trouble and needed four stitches to close a gash on his left elbow.Down 65-46, Walker made a 3-pointer to unknowingly start what became a 29-point turnaround. The Hornets clamped down on Miami in the second half, with the Heat shooting 6 for 17 from behind the arc in the final 24 minutes -- and just 6 for 26 from 2-point range in that time. Charlottes reserves had 30 points after halftime, while the entire Miami roster combined for 34.One thing is we were able to stop their penetration more, Hornets coach Steve Clifford said. Our defense more energized the offense, and we got really good bench play.Jeremy Lamb scored 16 points for the Hornets, who had six players in double figures and turned the 65-46 hole into a 94-84 lead with 3 minutes left -- a 48-19 run in about 18 minutes. Nic Batum and Marco Belinelli each scored 12 points for Charlotte.Theyre a well-coached, veteran team, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. They werent punch-drunk or anything when we went up. ... We knew going in we would have to play a complete game against them and we werent able to do that.Goran Dragic scored 14 points and Dion Waiters added 13 for the Heat, who lost a home opener for the first time in nine years. Charlotte had runs of 12-0 and 9-1 in the third quarter alone.We just stopped gettingg stops, Heat forward Justise Winslow said.ddddddddddddThat was it.TIP-INSHornets: Roy Hibbert started at center, played the first 4:29, and did not return because of right knee soreness. Cody Zeller started the second half in his place. ... Frank Kaminsky (right foot strain) went through a pregame workout but was inactive. ... Belinelli now has 11 regular season appearances in Miami with seven different teams.Heat: Team captain Udonis Haslem grabbed a microphone and addressed the crowd before tip-off, promising them that we will play as hard as we can for you guys every night. ... The locker Wade used for the last several years is now empty, not assigned to any current Heat player. ... Wayne Ellington (right thigh bruise) and Josh Richardson (right knee) were again sidelined.FOR STARTERSMichael Kidd-Gilchrist just recently turned 23, missed most of last season with a shoulder injury and still made the 200th start of his Charlotte career on Friday night. Miamis entire starting five -- Dragic (100), Whiteside (77), Winslow (10), Luke Babbitt (2) and Waiters (2) -- now have a combined 191 starts in Heat colors.RILEY SPEAKSHeat President Pat Riley sat down with team broadcast outlet Fox Sports Sun before the game and raved about the job Spoelstra has done with a new group that was largely assembled after Wade left for Chicago this summer (and before Chris Bosh failed his physical in September to essentially end his time with the team).Theres a saying that Spo uses a lot, and I like to use it myself now ... when you look at a player, the player doesnt care what you know until he knows how much you care, Riley said. Spo and his staff cares a lot about these guys and these young players.UP NEXTHornets: Saturday, they play their home opener against Boston.Heat: Sunday, the homestand continues when San Antonio visits.
