After Action Report

The Heat blew the doors off the Nets 117-90. Heat's scorers couldn't be contained. Second-chance points piled up for the Heat; the Heat came in with something to prove after a loss. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. The Nets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
