After Action Report

The Heat outlasted the 76ers 103-96. The 76ers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Heat. The Heat carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Heat's outside barrage was a constant threat. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. The Heat rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • 76ers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Heat · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
