After Action Report
The Heat stunned the Clippers 111-97. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Heat came in with something to prove after a loss; Heat's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Heat's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
