After Action Report

In a track meet, the Heat outlasted the Kings 126-120. Heat controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Heat's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Kings couldn't shake the cold spell. The Kings looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger.

What tipped it

  • Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Kings · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
