After Action Report
The Heat held off the Nets 90-84. The Heat won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Heat carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Heat's outside barrage was a constant threat. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Heat · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Nets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
