After Action Report
In Portland, the Heat snuck past the Trail Blazers 104-101. Every possession went the Heat way. The Heat answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Heat's Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Heat's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
