After Action Report
The Heat ran roughshod over the Hornets 130-104. The Hornets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Heat's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Heat looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. Heat's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Heat · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
