After Action Report

In Miami, the Heat outlasted the Wizards 108-93. Heat's offense had its way with the Wizards. The Heat owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Heat's defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Wizards · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
