After Action Report
The Heat fended off the Knicks 127-121. Heat controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the Heat. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. Style points be damned.
