After Action Report
The Suns held off the Heat 123-116. Suns' offense had its way with the Heat. The Suns answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Suns' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Heat looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Suns · 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.
