After Action Report
The Heat rolled past the Suns 120-92. The Suns had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Suns' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Suns bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Heat per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
