After Action Report
The Heat pulled away from the Suns 113-100. Heat controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Heat's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Heat owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Suns rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
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 · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
