After Action Report
The Heat demolished the Trail Blazers 118-93. The Heat got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Heat came in with something to prove after a loss. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Heat per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
