After Action Report
In a track meet, the Heat pulled away from the Knicks 126-113. The Heat got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; 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.
