After Action Report

The Heat ran roughshod over the Bulls 104-81. Heat torched the Bulls on the offensive end. The Heat owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Heat's outside barrage was a constant threat. The Bulls looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Bulls · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
