After Action Report
The 76ers ran roughshod over the Heat 122-76. The Heat had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the 76ers; 76ers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Heat looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Early returns: the 76ers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- 76ers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Heat · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
