After Action Report
The Heat outlasted the Wizards 113-97. The tempo dragged the Wizards into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Heat are in a full-on tailspin; Heat's defenders refused to give up clean looks. Early returns: the Heat per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Heat · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Wizards · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
