After Action Report
The Heat rolled past the Clippers 116-81. The better team simply showed up tonight. Heat's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Clippers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. The Clippers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
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.
