After Action Report
The Hornets fended off the Heat 123-115. The breakneck pace played right into Hornets' hands. Hornets' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; Heat's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim.
What tipped it
- Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
