After Action Report
The Heat buried the Lakers 105-85. The Lakers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Heat. The Heat looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; Heat's outside barrage was a constant threat. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Heat · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Lakers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
