After Action Report
The Heat ran roughshod over the Bulls 137-98. The Heat got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Heat's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Heat. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Heat per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.
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.
- Bulls · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
