After Action Report

The Heat ran roughshod over the Timberwolves 134-111. The Heat got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Heat owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Early returns: the Heat per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.

What tipped it

  • Timberwolves · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • 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.
