After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Heat demolished the Hornets 132-93. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Heat cashed in. Heat's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. The Hornets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
