After Action Report
In Miami, the Heat outlasted the Nuggets 112-104. Heat torched the Nuggets on the offensive end. The Nuggets played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Nuggets bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. Heat's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Nuggets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
