After Action Report

In Miami, the Heat blew the doors off the Bulls 125-105. The Heat got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Heat owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. Heat's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. 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 · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
