After Action Report
The Heat buried the Hornets 144-95. Heat's offense had its way with the Hornets. Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Heat owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Heat per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it

- Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Heat · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
