After Action Report
The Heat took care of the Bobcats 103-87. The Heat won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Heat owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Bobcats' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. The Bobcats rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
