After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Lakers pulled away from the Heat 126-107. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. Lakers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; second-chance points piled up for the Heat. Heat's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
