After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Hornets demolished the Heat 129-91. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. The Hornets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; fresh off a statement win, the Hornets stayed locked in. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Heat utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.
