After Action Report

The Heat held off the Raptors 124-116. Heat controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Heat's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Heat owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Raptors looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Raptors rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.

What tipped it

  • Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
