After Action Report
In Miami, the Heat snuck past the Hornets 104-101. Ugly basketball, but the Heat did just enough. Heat's old heads steadied the ship in the swings; Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
