After Action Report
The Heat outlasted the SuperSonics 110-102. Ugly basketball, but the Heat did just enough. Second-chance points piled up for the Heat; the Heat ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. The Heat rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
