After Action Report
The Heat buried the Raptors 112-85. Heat's starting five clicked while the Raptors looked disjointed. Second-chance points piled up for the Heat; the Heat carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Raptors · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Heat · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
