After Action Report
The Celtics survived the Heat 102-101. Ugly basketball, but the Celtics did just enough. Second-chance points piled up for the Celtics; the Celtics are in a full-on tailspin. The Heat looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Heat utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Celtics · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Heat · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
