After Action Report

The Heat squeaked past the Hornets 102-101. The Hornets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Heat. Fresh off a statement win, the Hornets stayed locked in. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. Heat's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
