After Action Report

In a track meet, the Jazz pulled away from the Heat 88-73. The Heat couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Jazz. Shots just aren't falling for the Jazz lately; Jazz's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Heat looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Jazz · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Heat · 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.
