After Action Report

The Wizards rolled past the Heat 113-90. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Wizards owned the glass, generating extra possessions; fresh off a statement win, the Wizards stayed locked in. The Heat looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Heat utilization choices clashed with the team identity. It broke open after the break.

What tipped it

  • Wizards · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Wizards · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • 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.
