After Action Report
The Lakers held off the Heat 116-110. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. The Lakers couldn't shake the cold spell; Lakers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Heat · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
