After Action Report

The Heat survived the SuperSonics 121-118. The breakneck pace played right into Heat's hands. Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Heat. 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.
