After Action Report
The Heat squeaked past the Celtics 129-126. The Celtics had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Heat answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Whispers of a Celtics locker-room rift aren't helping. The Celtics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Heat · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
