After Action Report

The Hornets squeaked past the Heat 100-99. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Hornets couldn't shake the cold spell; Hornets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo.

What tipped it

  • Hornets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Heat · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
