After Action Report
The Heat snuck past the Wizards 111-107. The Wizards couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Heat. The Heat bent the defense out of shape from deep; Wizards' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Heat per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Wizards · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
