After Action Report

In Miami, the Heat ran roughshod over the Knicks 126-106. The Heat got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Heat looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; the Knicks owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. The Heat rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Never a doubt in this one.
