After Action Report
In Miami, the Lakers rolled past the Heat 152-94. Lakers' offense had its way with the Heat. Lakers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; the Heat owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Heat's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Heat · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
