After Action Report

The Heat survived the Bulls 102-97. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Shots just aren't falling for the Heat lately; Heat's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo.

What tipped it

  • 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.
  • Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Bulls · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
