After Action Report

The Bobcats pulled away from the Heat 97-80. The Heat couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Bobcats. The Bobcats carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Bobcats' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Whispers of a Heat locker-room rift aren't helping. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Heat · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Bobcats · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
