After Action Report
The Heat held off the Celtics 106-98. Ugly basketball, but the Heat did just enough. Heat's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Heat steamroller is in full effect right now. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. The Celtics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Heat · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
