After Action Report

In Miami, the Heat squeaked past the Bobcats 123-120. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Heat cashed in. The Heat came in with something to prove after a loss; Bobcats' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed.

What tipped it

  • Heat · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Bobcats · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
