After Action Report

In a track meet, the Heat edged the Kings 109-103. The Kings couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Heat. Heat's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Heat's veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. Style points be damned.
