After Action Report
In Portland, the Trail Blazers blew the doors off the Heat 130-104. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Trail Blazers cashed in. Heat's veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Heat looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
