After Action Report

In Miami, the Bobcats outlasted the Heat 119-110. The breakneck pace played right into Bobcats' hands. The Bobcats came in with something to prove after a loss; Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Bobcats bench chemistry carried them. Bobcats' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

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 · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Bobcats · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Bobcats · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
