The Bobcats ran roughshod over the Heat 135-99. The Heat had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Bobcats carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Bobcats' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Bobcats bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Heat utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Garbage time started early.
