After Action Report
The Hornets blew the doors off the Heat 101-81. The Hornets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Hornets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Heat's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Heat's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
