After Action Report
The Hornets demolished the Heat 104-69. Ugly basketball, but the Hornets did just enough. Shots just aren't falling for the Hornets lately; shots just aren't falling for the Heat lately. Whispers of a Heat locker-room rift aren't helping. The Heat rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
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 · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
