After Action Report
The Heat shocked the Clippers 124-119. The Clippers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Heat's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Heat owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Heat rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
