After Action Report
In Miami, the Heat blew the doors off the Clippers 137-98. The Clippers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Fresh off a statement win, the Heat stayed locked in; Heat's defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Heat · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Clippers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Clippers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
