After Action Report
The Heat outlasted the Suns 92-86. Ugly basketball, but the Heat did just enough. Heat's old heads steadied the ship in the swings; Suns' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Suns · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
