After Action Report
The Heat held off the Wizards 103-95. The Heat won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Heat played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Wizards' outside barrage was a constant threat. Whispers of a Wizards locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Wizards utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Heat · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
