After Action Report
The Heat handled the Spurs 101-88. The Spurs couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Heat. The Heat owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Heat answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Heat per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
