After Action Report

The Heat outlasted the Bulls 126-112. The Bulls had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Heat. The Bulls rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.

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.
  • Bulls · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
