After Action Report
In Miami, the Heat ran roughshod over the Celtics 142-113. The tempo dragged the Celtics into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Heat's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Heat. 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. Never a doubt in this one.
