After Action Report
The Heat buried the Knicks 115-85. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Heat cashed in. The Heat carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Heat's defenders refused to give up clean looks. 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. Never a doubt in this one.
