After Action Report
The Heat took care of the Nets 117-101. The Nets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Heat carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Heat's defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Heat per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
