After Action Report

The Heat buried the Celtics 141-112. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Heat cashed in. Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Heat owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.

What tipped it

  • Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
