The Heat blew the doors off the Nets 108-85. Every possession went the Heat way. The Heat carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Heat's veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Heat per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
