The Heat blew the doors off the Knicks 133-102. The Knicks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Heat played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Heat bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Heat per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
