After Action Report
The Heat blew the doors off the Hornets 120-87. Heat's scorers couldn't be contained. The Heat played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Hornets came in with something to prove after a loss. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Heat · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hornets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
