After Action Report
The Heat demolished the Hornets 156-126. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Heat cashed in. Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Heat came in with something to prove after a loss. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Heat per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
