After Action Report
The Hornets buried the Heat 109-71. The tempo dragged the Heat into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Hornets' outside barrage was a constant threat; the Heat came in with something to prove after a loss. Heat's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Heat · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
