After Action Report
The Heat outlasted the Celtics 102-85. Ugly basketball, but the Heat did just enough. Heat's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Heat owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Celtics utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Survive-and-advance type win.
