The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Heat per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.

- 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.
