After Action Report

The Heat outlasted the Kings 115-96. Heat's offense had its way with the Kings. Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Heat came in with something to prove after a loss. The Kings looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Heat's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

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