After Action Report

In Toronto, the Heat blew the doors off the Raptors 117-86. The Heat got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Second-chance points piled up for the Heat; Heat's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Whispers of a Raptors locker-room rift aren't helping. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Raptors · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
