After Action Report

The Heat outlasted the Celtics 129-117. The Heat got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Heat couldn't shake the cold spell; second-chance points piled up for the Celtics. Celtics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • Celtics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Celtics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Heat · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
