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.

What tipped it

  • Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Heat · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Hornets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
