After Action Report
In a track meet, the Hornets took care of the Heat 120-106. Hornets torched the Heat on the offensive end. The Hornets came in with something to prove after a loss; the Heat are in a full-on tailspin. Whispers of a Heat locker-room rift aren't helping. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Heat · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hornets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
