In a track meet, the Heat demolished the Magic 123-97. Heat controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Heat came in with something to prove after a loss. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. Heat's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
