After Action Report
The Celtics survived the Heat 102-98. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Celtics pushed the pace until the other side broke; Heat's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim.
What tipped it
- Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Heat · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
