After Action Report
The Heat outlasted the Celtics 97-78. Every possession went the Heat way. Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Heat came in with something to prove after a loss. Whispers of a Celtics locker-room rift aren't helping. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Celtics · 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.
- Heat · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
