After Action Report
In Miami, the Heat buried the Mavericks 135-88. The breakneck pace played right into Heat's hands. Heat's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; shots just aren't falling for the Mavericks lately. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. Mavericks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
