After Action Report

The Heat pulled away from the Kings 131-121. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Heat cashed in. Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Heat. Kings' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

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.
  • Heat · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
