After Action Report
The Heat outlasted the Wizards 107-88. The Wizards couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Heat. The Heat carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Wizards' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Heat per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
