After Action Report
The Lakers rolled past the Heat 116-79. Lakers' offense had its way with the Heat. The Lakers pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Heat couldn't shake the cold spell. The Heat looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Lakers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Heat · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
