After Action Report

The Raptors edged the Heat 102-96. The Heat couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Raptors. Raptors' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Raptors' outside barrage was a constant threat. Whispers of a Heat locker-room rift aren't helping. Raptors' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Heat · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Raptors · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
