After Action Report
The Heat ran roughshod over the Hornets 127-100. The Hornets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Heat bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Heat per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
