After Action Report
The Heat outlasted the Trail Blazers 117-103. The Heat got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Heat played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Heat's old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Trail Blazers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
