After Action Report

In Miami, the Heat ran roughshod over the Kings 135-115. The Heat got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Heat's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Heat. Heat's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
