After Action Report
In Dallas, the Heat snuck past the Mavericks 102-98. Ugly basketball, but the Heat did just enough. The Heat came in with something to prove after a loss; Heat's outside barrage was a constant threat. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. The Heat rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
