After Action Report

The Heat blew the doors off the Bulls 139-112. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Heat cashed in. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Heat; Bulls' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. Heat's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Bulls · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Bulls · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Heat · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
