After Action Report

In Miami, the Heat blew the doors off the Bulls 118-84. Heat torched the Bulls on the offensive end. Second-chance points piled up for the Heat; the Heat answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. Bulls' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Heat · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Bulls · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Bulls · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
