After Action Report
In Miami, the Lakers pulled away from the Heat 118-107. The Lakers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Heat's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Heat's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Lakers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
