After Action Report
In Philadelphia, the 76ers upended the Heat 120-117. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the 76ers cashed in. The Heat owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Heat answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. 76ers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
