After Action Report
In New Jersey, the Heat buried the Nets 133-84. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Heat cashed in. Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Heat. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Heat per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Nets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.

- 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 · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
