After Action Report
The Hornets downed the Heat 98-83. The Hornets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Fresh off a statement win, the Hornets stayed locked in; Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Heat · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Hornets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
