After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Heat upended the Clippers 124-115. Heat controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Heat carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Heat pushed the pace until the other side broke. 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.
