After Action Report

The Heat rolled past the Wizards 133-102. Heat torched the Wizards on the offensive end. Heat's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Wizards' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. Wizards' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.

What tipped it

  • Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
