After Action Report

The Heat pulled away from the Bulls 107-88. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Heat carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Heat's old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. Bulls' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Heat · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Bulls · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
