After Action Report
In a track meet, the Heat outlasted the Trail Blazers 92-75. The tempo dragged the Trail Blazers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Shots just aren't falling for the Heat lately; the Heat pushed the pace until the other side broke. Early returns: the Heat per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.
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.
