After Action Report
The Hornets ran roughshod over the Heat 126-71. The breakneck pace played right into Hornets' hands. Second-chance points piled up for the Hornets; Hornets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Early returns: the Hornets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
