After Action Report
The Heat knocked off the Hornets 117-100. Heat controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Heat; Heat's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Heat's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
