After Action Report
In a track meet, the Heat shocked the Clippers 122-121. The tempo dragged the Clippers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Heat couldn't shake the cold spell; 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. An upset for the books.
