After Action Report

The Heat buried the Wizards 123-83. The Wizards had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Heat answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Heat's defenders refused to give up clean looks. Early returns: the Heat per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Heat · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Wizards · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
