After Action Report
The Heat survived the Mavericks 116-111. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Heat cashed in. Heat's outside barrage was a constant threat; Mavericks' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. Heat's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
