After Action Report
The Trail Blazers ran roughshod over the Heat 139-86. Trail Blazers' offense had its way with the Heat. Trail Blazers' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Heat's skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Heat looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Never a doubt in this one.
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.
