After Action Report
In New Jersey, the Nets held off the Heat 126-118 in overtime. Nets torched the Heat on the offensive end. Nets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Heat couldn't shake the cold spell. The Heat looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Heat rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Heat · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
