After Action Report

In Toronto, the Heat demolished the Raptors 101-74. Ugly basketball, but the Heat did just enough. The Heat carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Raptors' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. Raptors' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Raptors · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Heat · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
