After Action Report
The Heat ran roughshod over the Hornets 134-113. The Hornets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Heat's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Heat. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. Heat's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Heat · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
