After Action Report
In a track meet, the Heat buried the Hawks 131-102. The tempo dragged the Hawks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Heat pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Hawks owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Heat's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
