The Heat knocked off the Bulls 141-109. The Bulls had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Bulls' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Bulls. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Heat per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
