After Action Report
The Trail Blazers took care of the Heat 106-93. Trail Blazers torched the Heat on the offensive end. Heat's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Heat ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- 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.
