After Action Report
The Heat survived the Hornets 109-105. Every possession went the Heat way. Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Heat answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. The Heat rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
