After Action Report
The Heat snuck past the Nuggets 100-97. Ugly basketball, but the Heat did just enough. The Heat bent the defense out of shape from deep; second-chance points piled up for the Nuggets. Tonight's Nuggets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
