After Action Report

The Hornets pulled away from the Heat 106-96. Hornets torched the Heat on the offensive end. The Hornets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Hornets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
