The Heat fended off the Lakers 114-107. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Heat came in with something to prove after a loss; Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. Heat's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
