After Action Report
The Heat buried the Lakers 134-94. The Heat got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Heat owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Heat pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Lakers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Lakers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
