After Action Report

The Heat snuck past the Bulls 103-102. Lineup balance gave the Heat a clear synergy edge. Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Heat. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. Heat's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Heat · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
