After Action Report
The Heat knocked off the Lakers 129-128 in overtime. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Heat cashed in. The Heat answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Heat pushed the pace until the other side broke. An upset for the books.
What tipped it
- Heat · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
