After Action Report
The 76ers snuck past the Heat 92-87. The Heat couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the 76ers. The 76ers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; 76ers' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Heat looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Heat rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
