After Action Report

The 76ers downed the Heat 115-98. The breakneck pace played right into 76ers' hands. The 76ers pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Heat are in a full-on tailspin. The Heat looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. 76ers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.

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.
