After Action Report

The Heat snuck past the SuperSonics 110-108. The breakneck pace played right into Heat's hands. The Heat ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Heat's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. Heat's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • SuperSonics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Heat · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
