After Action Report
The Heat squeaked past the Lakers 107-105. Heat's offense had its way with the Lakers. The Heat answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Lakers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. Early returns: the Heat per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
