After Action Report

The Heat snuck past the Suns 127-122 in overtime. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Heat cashed in. The Heat steamroller is in full effect right now; the Suns are in a full-on tailspin. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed.

What tipped it

  • Heat · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Suns · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
