After Action Report

In Miami, the Heat handled the Mavericks 123-107. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Heat cashed in. Heat's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Heat owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. Heat's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
