After Action Report

In Miami, the Nets held off the Heat 114-107. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nets cashed in. Nets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Nets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort.

What tipped it

  • Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Heat · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Nets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Nets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
