After Action Report

The Clippers buried the Heat 131-100. Clippers' scorers couldn't be contained. Clippers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Clippers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Clippers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Heat rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Clippers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Clippers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Clippers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Heat · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
