After Action Report
The Heat downed the Kings 95-82. Ugly basketball, but the Heat did just enough. The Heat owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Heat's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Kings looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Kings · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
