After Action Report

In a track meet, the Heat survived the Bobcats 98-96. The tempo dragged the Bobcats into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Heat's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Heat's defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Bobcats rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Bobcats · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Bobcats · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
  • Bobcats · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
