After Action Report

In a track meet, the Heat squeaked past the Bobcats 116-112. Heat torched the Bobcats on the offensive end. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Heat; Heat's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Heat rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Survive-and-advance type win.
