The Heat survived the Hornets 101-100. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Heat carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Heat's Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. Heat's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
