After Action Report
The Heat survived the Hornets 98-96. Heat torched the Hornets on the offensive end. Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Heat answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Heat's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Heat · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
