After Action Report

In Dallas, the Heat buried the Mavericks 117-82. Heat torched the Mavericks on the offensive end. Second-chance points piled up for the Heat; the Heat came in with something to prove after a loss. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. Mavericks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
