After Action Report
The Heat held off the Nuggets 105-99. The Nuggets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Heat. The Heat answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Nuggets bent the defense out of shape from deep. 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. Survive-and-advance type win.
