After Action Report
The Heat handled the Lakers 111-101. Heat's scorers couldn't be contained. The Heat pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Lakers came in with something to prove after a loss. Early returns: the Heat per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
