After Action Report
The Heat outlasted the Raptors 80-67. The Heat won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; shots just aren't falling for the Heat lately. Whispers of a Raptors locker-room rift aren't helping. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Heat · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
