After Action Report
The Heat downed the Hornets 109-98. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Heat's defenders refused to give up clean looks; fresh off a statement win, the Hornets stayed locked in. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed.
What tipped it
- Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hornets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
