After Action Report
The Heat survived the Clippers 117-116. The Heat got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Heat's outside barrage was a constant threat. Early returns: the Heat per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.

- Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Clippers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
