After Action Report

In Miami, the Heat survived the Kings 111-106. Heat controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Heat's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; second-chance points piled up for the Kings. Heat's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Kings · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Kings · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
