After Action Report
The Heat blew the doors off the Clippers 118-91. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Heat came in with something to prove after a loss; the Heat bent the defense out of shape from deep. Early returns: the Heat per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
