After Action Report
The Heat ran roughshod over the Lakers 123-103. Heat torched the Lakers on the offensive end. The Heat answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Heat · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
