After Action Report
The SuperSonics blew the doors off the Heat 106-86. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The SuperSonics bent the defense out of shape from deep; Heat's skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. Whispers of a Heat locker-room rift aren't helping. SuperSonics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
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.
