After Action Report
The Heat shocked the Hornets 108-101. The Heat got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Heat's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Hornets owned the glass, generating extra possessions. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hornets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
