After Action Report
The Heat fended off the Nuggets 104-96. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Heat carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Nuggets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Heat per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
