After Action Report
In a track meet, the Nets held off the Heat 118-111. The breakneck pace played right into Nets' hands. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Nets; Nets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Whispers of a Heat locker-room rift aren't helping. The Heat rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Nets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
