After Action Report

The Heat ran roughshod over the Grizzlies 126-98. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Heat cashed in. Heat's outside barrage was a constant threat; Grizzlies' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Heat per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Grizzlies · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Grizzlies · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Grizzlies · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Grizzlies · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
