After Action Report

In Milwaukee, the Heat squeaked past the Bucks 101-97. 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 defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. Heat's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Bucks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • 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.
