After Action Report
The Heat edged the Mavericks 110-101. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Heat bent the defense out of shape from deep; Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Early returns: the Heat per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Mavericks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
