After Action Report
The Heat squeaked past the Grizzlies 87-85. The Grizzlies couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Heat. Shots just aren't falling for the Heat lately; Heat's veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Survive-and-advance type win.
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.
- Grizzlies · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Grizzlies · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
