After Action Report
The Hornets rolled past the Heat 128-103. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Hornets owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. The Hornets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hornets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
