After Action Report

The Warriors ran roughshod over the Heat 118-96. Warriors' offense had its way with the Heat. Warriors' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Warriors. The Warriors locker room is humming, and it showed. The Warriors rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.

What tipped it

  • Warriors · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Warriors · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Warriors · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Warriors · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
