After Action Report
The Raptors fended off the Heat 101-95 in overtime. The Heat couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Raptors. Raptors' outside barrage was a constant threat; the Heat owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Heat looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Early returns: the Raptors per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Heat · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
