After Action Report
In a track meet, the Heat ran roughshod over the Hawks 121-83. Heat's scorers couldn't be contained. Heat's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Heat ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- 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.
