After Action Report
The Wizards fended off the Heat 109-100. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Heat answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Heat pushed the pace until the other side broke. Whispers of a Heat locker-room rift aren't helping. Wizards' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Heat · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
