After Action Report
The Heat buried the Trail Blazers 121-101. Heat controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Heat's old heads steadied the ship in the swings. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Trail Blazers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
