After Action Report
The Heat buried the Knicks 110-75. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Knicks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Knicks' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Knicks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Heat's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
