After Action Report
In Miami, the Heat edged the Celtics 96-87. The Celtics couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Heat. Heat's defenders refused to give up clean looks; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Celtics. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. The Heat rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
