After Action Report
The Heat knocked off the Jazz 99-96. Ugly basketball, but the Heat did just enough. Fresh off a statement win, the Heat stayed locked in; Heat's Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. Heat's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. An upset for the books.
