After Action Report

The Heat knocked off the Trail Blazers 126-114. 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. Heat's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.

What tipped it

  • Heat · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
