After Action Report
The Suns rolled past the Heat 115-83. Suns controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Suns' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Suns. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. The Heat rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
