After Action Report

In a track meet, the Heat rolled past the Lakers 118-90. Heat's offense had its way with the Lakers. Heat's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Heat came in with something to prove after a loss. Lakers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.
