After Action Report

In Miami, the Heat rolled past the Kings 117-91. Heat controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Kings' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; the Kings pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Kings looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Heat's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Kings · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
