The Miami Heat will be gunning for the kill as they host the visiting Charlotte Hornets for the final game of their first round best-of-seven series at the AmericanAirlines Arena on Sunday.

The series is currently tied at three-all, and all is at stake in the last match of their opening round when the two clubs face each other for the seventh time in the postseason.

The Heat managed to take Game 6 in the Buzz City's home ground and will be riding on with the shift of the momentum as they enter Game seven. Miami, who are 5-3 in winner-take-all matches, also have the advantage of playoffs crunch time experience, while most of the Hornets key players are relatively first-timers when it comes to playing a postseason game decider.

With the final game of the series to be staged at Miami, we can expect the Heat, who are still playing without All-Star forward Chris Bosh, to be more aggressive and to play with lots of intensity like they did in Game six.

Dwyane Wade, who scored 23 points and managed to block the layup attempt of Kemba Walker in the last 16 seconds of the sixth game, is once again expected to carry the team with his leaderships and playoffs experience.

"Dwyane feels most alive when the competition is at its highest and games feel like this," Miami's head coach Erik Spoelstra said. "He was brilliant on both ends."

Walker, who scored a career playoff-high 37 points in their last game, will lead Charlotte with Jeremy Lin, Al Jefferson and Marvin Williams giving whatever they got to ensure the team advances to the second round.

"It's do or die. Both teams want to advance. It's going to be a battle just like this whole series," Hornets starting guard Walker said. "There's a reason we're going to a Game 7 and it's because both teams have been scratching and clawing to get some wins."
