After Action Report

The Hornets outlasted the Heat 116-103. Hornets' scorers couldn't be contained. The Hornets ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; second-chance points piled up for the Heat. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. The Heat rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.

What tipped it

  • Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Heat · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Hornets · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
