After Action Report

In a track meet, the Heat took care of the Celtics 114-104. The breakneck pace played right into Heat's hands. The Heat owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Heat answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. Celtics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
