After Action Report
The Heat shocked the Celtics 127-113. The breakneck pace played right into Heat's hands. The Heat carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Heat's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Heat's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. An upset for the books.
