After Action Report
The Heat demolished the Clippers 119-98. The Heat got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Heat's veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Heat's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
