After Action Report
The Suns outlasted the Heat 96-88. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Heat's shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone. Tonight's Heat utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Heat · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
- Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
