After Action Report
The Heat survived the Nets 102-97. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Heat's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Whispers of a Nets locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Nets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
