After Action Report
The Heat outlasted the Nuggets 104-98. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Heat cashed in. The Heat pushed the pace until the other side broke; Nuggets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition.
What tipped it
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nuggets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
