After Action Report
In Miami, the Heat blew the doors off the Knicks 113-89. Heat's scorers couldn't be contained. The Heat pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Knicks bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. The Knicks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
