After Action Report
The Spurs handled the Heat 131-119. The Heat had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Spurs sent shots into the fifth row all night; Spurs' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Whispers of a Heat locker-room rift aren't helping. Early returns: the Spurs per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
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.
- Spurs · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
