After Action Report

The Bulls shocked the Heat 128-116. The Heat had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Bulls pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Heat owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Bulls' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.

What tipped it

  • Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Heat · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
