After Action Report
The Heat took care of the Lakers 106-94. The Lakers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Heat. Heat's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Lakers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Heat per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
