After Action Report

The Heat survived the Bulls 109-108. Ugly basketball, but the Heat did just enough. Heat's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Heat owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. Heat's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • 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.
