After Action Report
The Heat outlasted the Lakers 102-88. Ugly basketball, but the Heat did just enough. The Heat came in with something to prove after a loss; Heat's defenders refused to give up clean looks. Early returns: the Heat per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.
