After Action Report

The Heat handled the 76ers 109-95. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Heat owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Heat's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. The 76ers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.

What tipped it

  • Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
