After Action Report
The Heat rolled past the Hornets 132-102. The Hornets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Heat bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Heat per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
