After Action Report
The Heat survived the Nuggets 101-99. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Heat couldn't shake the cold spell; second-chance points piled up for the Nuggets.
What tipped it
- Heat · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Nuggets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Nuggets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
