After Action Report
In Miami, the Heat outlasted the Hornets 100-93. The Hornets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Heat. The Heat carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Heat bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Hornets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Survive-and-advance type win.

- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
