After Action Report

The Hornets rolled past the Heat 145-95. Hornets' scorers couldn't be contained. The Hornets ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; the Heat came in with something to prove after a loss. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Heat's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • 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.
  • 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.
