After Action Report

In Miami, the Spurs survived the Heat 112-111 in overtime. Spurs torched the Heat on the offensive end. Heat's old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Spurs bench chemistry carried them. Spurs' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Spurs · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
