After Action Report
The Heat blew the doors off the Knicks 112-88. Heat's scorers couldn't be contained. Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Heat. 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. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
