After Action Report
The Heat pulled away from the Lakers 117-102. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Heat cashed in. The Heat carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; shots just aren't falling for the Lakers lately. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed.
What tipped it
- Heat · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Lakers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
