After Action Report

The Heat downed the Hornets 101-88. Ugly basketball, but the Heat did just enough. The Heat answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Heat's Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Hornets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Survive-and-advance type win.
