After Action Report
The Heat pulled away from the Mavericks 102-92. The Mavericks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Heat. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Heat; the Heat bent the defense out of shape from deep. Whispers of a Mavericks locker-room rift aren't helping. The Heat rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it

- Mavericks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Heat · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
