After Action Report
The Heat downed the Lakers 107-89. Heat torched the Lakers on the offensive end. The Heat looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; the Heat bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. The Heat rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
