After Action Report
The Lakers took care of the Heat 104-93. The Heat couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Lakers. The Lakers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Lakers' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. The Heat rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Heat · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Lakers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
