After Action Report
The Hornets blew the doors off the Heat 132-102. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. The Hornets came in with something to prove after a loss; Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. It was over by halftime.
