After Action Report
The Heat survived the Raptors 109-108. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Heat cashed in. Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Heat are in a full-on tailspin. Raptors' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Raptors · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Heat · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
