After Action Report

The Celtics snuck past the Heat 89-85. The Heat couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Celtics. The Celtics are in a full-on tailspin; the Heat came in with something to prove after a loss. Heat's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Celtics · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Heat · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
