After Action Report
The Hornets snuck past the Heat 118-114. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. Hornets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Heat's veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Heat rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
