After Action Report

In Boston, the Heat pulled away from the Celtics 121-110. The Heat got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Heat came in with something to prove after a loss; Heat's Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Whispers of a Celtics locker-room rift aren't helping. Heat's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Celtics · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Heat · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
