After Action Report
The Heat snuck past the Mavericks 104-103. Ugly basketball, but the Heat did just enough. The Heat carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. Heat's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Mavericks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Heat · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
