After Action Report

The Heat buried the Jazz 135-101. Heat torched the Jazz on the offensive end. Heat's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Heat owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. Heat's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It broke open after the break.
