After Action Report
In Miami, the Heat ran roughshod over the Celtics 140-120. Heat controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Heat's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Heat couldn't shake the cold spell. Early returns: the Heat per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Heat · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
