After Action Report

The Heat held off the Knicks 118-112. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Heat carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Knicks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. Heat's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
