After Action Report

The Heat stunned the 76ers 124-117. The Heat got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Second-chance points piled up for the 76ers; the 76ers ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Heat per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
