After Action Report

The Bobcats snuck past the Heat 109-104. Bobcats torched the Heat on the offensive end. Bobcats' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Whispers of a Heat locker-room rift aren't helping. Bobcats' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Heat · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
