After Action Report

In New York, the Heat survived the Knicks 110-106. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Heat looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; Heat's Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. Heat's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
