After Action Report
The Heat buried the Spurs 118-96. The Spurs had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Heat's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; 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. Garbage time started early.
