After Action Report
In a track meet, the Heat held off the Suns 129-122. The Suns had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Heat couldn't shake the cold spell; Heat's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Early returns: the Heat per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Heat · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Suns · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
