After Action Report

The Heat buried the Celtics 135-97. Heat's offense had its way with the Celtics. Fresh off a statement win, the Heat stayed locked in; Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. Celtics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Heat · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
