After Action Report
In Miami, the Suns blew the doors off the Heat 131-92. The tempo dragged the Heat into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Suns came in with something to prove after a loss; Suns' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Whispers of a Heat locker-room rift aren't helping. The Heat rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Suns · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
