After Action Report
The Heat buried the Lakers 123-90. The Heat got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Heat came in with something to prove after a loss; Heat's old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Lakers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Heat · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
