After Action Report
The Hornets handled the Heat 115-99. Every possession went the Hornets way. The Hornets came in with something to prove after a loss; the Hornets pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Heat looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Heat · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
