After Action Report
In Miami, the Heat blew the doors off the Bobcats 135-90. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Heat cashed in. Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Bobcats owned the glass, generating extra possessions. 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. Never a doubt in this one.
