After Action Report
The Heat survived the Bobcats 97-95. Ugly basketball, but the Heat did just enough. The Heat came in with something to prove after a loss; the Heat bent the defense out of shape from deep. Whispers of a Bobcats locker-room rift aren't helping. Heat's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Bobcats · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Bobcats · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Heat · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
