After Action Report

The Heat survived the Hornets 92-90. Heat's scorers couldn't be contained. The Heat answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Heat's Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Heat per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
