After Action Report
The Clippers blew the doors off the Heat 125-85. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Clippers cashed in. The Heat couldn't shake the cold spell; Heat's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Whispers of a Heat locker-room rift aren't helping. Early returns: the Clippers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.
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.
