After Action Report
The Hornets buried the Heat 131-111. The Hornets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Heat answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Heat utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Garbage time started early.
