After Action Report
The Heat outlasted the Celtics 117-100. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Heat cashed in. Heat's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Celtics played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed.
What tipped it
- Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Celtics · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
