After Action Report
The Heat snuck past the Bulls 117-116 in overtime. Heat's scorers couldn't be contained. The Heat answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Heat pushed the pace until the other side broke. Whispers of a Bulls locker-room rift aren't helping. The Bulls rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Heat · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
