After Action Report
In a track meet, the Hornets ran roughshod over the Heat 130-102. The tempo dragged the Heat into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Hornets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; shots just aren't falling for the Heat lately. Whispers of a Heat locker-room rift aren't helping. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Heat · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
