After Action Report
The Celtics rolled past the Heat 126-85. Celtics' offense had its way with the Heat. The Celtics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Celtics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Heat looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Heat rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Heat · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
