After Action Report
In Miami, the Hornets demolished the Heat 133-108. Hornets torched the Heat on the offensive end. The Hornets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; fresh off a statement win, the Hornets stayed locked in. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. Heat's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
