After Action Report
In a track meet, the Heat squeaked past the Bulls 96-92. Heat torched the Bulls on the offensive end. Heat's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Heat owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Bulls looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Bulls' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
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.
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
