After Action Report
The Heat pulled away from the Nuggets 104-88. Heat's scorers couldn't be contained. The Heat answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Heat bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Nuggets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Nuggets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Heat · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Nuggets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Nuggets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
