After Action Report

The Heat edged the Nuggets 111-105. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Heat came in with something to prove after a loss; the Heat bent the defense out of shape from deep. 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. Survive-and-advance type win.
