After Action Report
The Kings upended the Heat 117-115. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Kings cashed in. Kings' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Heat's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
