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.
