After Action Report
The Heat downed the Hornets 114-101. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Heat cashed in. The Heat answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Heat bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Hornets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Hornets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Heat · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- 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.
