After Action Report
The Heat squeaked past the Wizards 94-90. The Heat won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Heat played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Heat's Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Heat · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Wizards · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
