After Action Report
The Hornets outlasted the Heat 127-120. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. The Hornets couldn't shake the cold spell; Hornets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings.
What tipped it
- Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hornets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
