After Action Report
In Miami, the Heat squeaked past the Hornets 105-104. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Heat cashed in. The Heat couldn't shake the cold spell; Heat's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Hornets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Hornets utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Heat · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
