After Action Report
In Phoenix, the Heat handled the Suns 96-79. Heat's scorers couldn't be contained. Heat's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Heat couldn't shake the cold spell. Suns' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Suns · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- 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.
