After Action Report
In Miami, the Heat blew the doors off the Lakers 124-99. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Heat cashed in. Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Heat. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Heat · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
