After Action Report

In Miami, the Heat survived the Raptors 104-101. The Raptors couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Heat. Heat's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Heat owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. Style points be damned.

  • Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • 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.
