After Action Report
The Heat squeaked past the Clippers 120-116. The tempo dragged the Clippers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Heat couldn't shake the cold spell; Heat's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Heat's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it

- Clippers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
