After Action Report
The Hornets buried the Heat 120-96. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. The Heat came in with something to prove after a loss; Heat's veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Heat's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
