After Action Report

In Miami, the Heat survived the Wizards 110-106. The better team simply showed up tonight. Wizards' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Wizards. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Heat per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.

What tipped it

  • Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Wizards · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Wizards · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
