After Action Report
The Heat ran roughshod over the Celtics 133-101. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Heat cashed in. The Heat answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Heat pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. The Celtics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
