After Action Report

The Heat downed the Clippers 112-93. The Heat won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Heat pushed the pace until the other side broke; shots just aren't falling for the Clippers lately. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. Heat's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Clippers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Clippers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
