After Action Report
The Hornets squeaked past the Heat 89-86. Hornets' offense had its way with the Heat. Hornets' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
