After Action Report

The Heat outlasted the Nets 95-86. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Heat couldn't shake the cold spell; the Heat pushed the pace until the other side broke.

What tipped it

  • Nets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Heat · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
