After Action Report

In Utah, the Heat snuck past the Jazz 114-111. Heat's offense had its way with the Jazz. Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Heat. Whispers of a Jazz locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Jazz utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Jazz · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • 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.
