After Action Report

In a track meet, the Heat outlasted the Knicks 127-114. The tempo dragged the Knicks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Heat's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Heat per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
