After Action Report
The Heat rolled past the Hornets 120-99. The tempo dragged the Hornets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Heat's veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · 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.
