The Heat ran roughshod over the Timberwolves 121-100. Heat controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Heat. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. The Heat rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
