After Action Report
The Heat held off the Celtics 116-107. Heat's scorers couldn't be contained. Heat's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Heat came in with something to prove after a loss. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Celtics utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Heat · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
