After Action Report
In Miami, the Heat squeaked past the Bulls 99-98. The Heat won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Second-chance points piled up for the Heat; the Heat pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
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.
- Bulls · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
