After Action Report

In Miami, the Hornets snuck past the Heat 112-111. The tempo dragged the Heat into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Fresh off a statement win, the Hornets stayed locked in; Heat's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Heat · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • 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.
