After Action Report
The Heat upended the Nets 106-98. The Heat got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Heat owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Heat are in a full-on tailspin. Nets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.

- Nets · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Heat · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
