After Action Report
In Miami, the Heat rolled past the Trail Blazers 124-86. The Trail Blazers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Heat bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. Heat's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
