Acting as a professional North Carolina local blogger for Vibe NC, write an engaging article based on the following content: The Charlotte Hornets survived a heart‑stopping thriller in their Play‑In Tournament opener, edging out the Miami Heat 127-126 in an overtime classic. And let’s be honest here, they don’t escape that game without Coby White being injected with ice in his veins. With the season hanging by a thread, White buried one of the toughest threes you’ll see under pressure, tying the game with 10 seconds left and igniting Spectrum Center. He’s the X-factor for the Hornets in the postseason.White had already detonated in the third quarter, dropping 14 points to drag Charlotte back into rhythm. He finished with 19 points on 7‑of‑15 shooting and a scorching 5‑of‑8 from deep. Every week, every game, and every moment like this proves the trade for White looks more and more like highway robbery.Pressure isn’t new to him. White helped lead North Carolina to the Sweet 16, logged postseason reps with the Chicago Bulls, and even hung 42 points in his last Play‑In appearance. The bright lights don’t scare him and it showed tonight.The ultimate sixth man has arrivedThere’s a real argument that White could be starting somewhere else, as he’s just been that good. His plus/minus of +21 was the best mark of any Hornet, a clean snapshot of how dramatically he tilted the game whenever he checked in. Having White in a sixth man role is immensely advantageous compared to other teams.
