After Action Report

The Heat snuck past the Bulls 103-100. Ugly basketball, but the Heat did just enough. The Heat answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Heat's veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • 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.
  • Bulls · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Bulls · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
