After Action Report
In a track meet, the Heat buried the Knicks 120-100. The tempo dragged the Knicks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Heat pushed the pace until the other side broke; second-chance points piled up for the Knicks. Heat's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
