After Action Report
The Heat took care of the Celtics 120-110. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Heat cashed in. Heat's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Heat's outside barrage was a constant threat. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Heat per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Celtics · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
