After Action Report

In Miami, the Heat handled the Knicks 120-110. The Heat got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Heat owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Heat answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. 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.
