After Action Report

The Heat outlasted the Lakers 115-106. The Heat got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Heat are in a full-on tailspin; Heat's outside barrage was a constant threat. The Lakers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Lakers utilization choices clashed with the team identity.

  • Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Lakers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
