After Action Report

In a track meet, the Heat snuck past the Trail Blazers 127-125. The Heat got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Heat's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Heat answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. Heat's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
