After Action Report
In Miami, the Heat squeaked past the Suns 101-96. Heat's offense had its way with the Suns. Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Heat came in with something to prove after a loss. The Suns rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Heat · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Suns · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
