After Action Report
The Hornets ran roughshod over the Heat 116-93. The Heat had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Shots just aren't falling for the Hornets lately; the Hornets bent the defense out of shape from deep. Tonight's Heat utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Garbage time started early.
