After Action Report
The Heat rolled past the Hornets 136-112. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Heat cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Heat; the Heat carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Hornets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Garbage time started early.

- Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Heat · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
