After Action Report
The Heat demolished the Celtics 114-94. Heat torched the Celtics on the offensive end. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Celtics came in with something to prove after a loss. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. The Celtics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
