After Action Report
The Heat edged the Clippers 102-94. Every possession went the Heat way. Heat's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Clippers couldn't shake the cold spell. The Clippers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Clippers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Clippers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Clippers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
