After Action Report
In a track meet, the Heat blew the doors off the Knicks 137-99. The Heat got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Heat's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Heat's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Heat per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
