After Action Report

The Heat outlasted the Celtics 99-84. Heat's scorers couldn't be contained. Heat's skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; Heat's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Whispers of a Celtics locker-room rift aren't helping.

  • Celtics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Heat · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
