After Action Report
The Hornets blew the doors off the Heat 123-103. Hornets torched the Heat on the offensive end. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Hornets. The Heat looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- 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.
- Heat · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
