After Action Report
The Trail Blazers downed the Heat 99-89. Trail Blazers' scorers couldn't be contained. Trail Blazers' outside barrage was a constant threat; the Heat answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Heat looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Heat · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
