After Action Report
The Heat buried the Lakers 117-95. The tempo dragged the Lakers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Heat played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Heat rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Never a doubt in this one.
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.
