After Action Report

The Heat demolished the Bulls 118-92. The Bulls had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Heat's veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; Bulls' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Bulls utilization choices clashed with the team identity. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.

What tipped it

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