After Action Report
The Heat survived the Mavericks 101-99. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Heat's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Heat couldn't shake the cold spell. Early returns: the Heat per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- 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.
