After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Heat outlasted the Hornets 105-99. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Heat carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. Heat's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
