After Action Report
The Heat knocked off the Lakers 113-109. Every possession went the Heat way. The Heat answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Heat pushed the pace until the other side broke. Heat's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Heat · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
