After Action Report
In a track meet, the Heat upended the Mavericks 120-104. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Heat cashed in. The Heat carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Heat pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. Mavericks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
