After Action Report
The Heat outlasted the Hornets 124-107. The breakneck pace played right into Heat's hands. Heat's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Hornets' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hornets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
