After Action Report

The Heat outlasted the Celtics 94-88. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Heat are in a full-on tailspin; fresh off a statement win, the Celtics stayed locked in. Celtics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • Heat · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Celtics · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
