After Action Report
The Heat blew the doors off the Trail Blazers 115-93. Heat torched the Trail Blazers on the offensive end. The Heat came in with something to prove after a loss; Trail Blazers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Trail Blazers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.
