After Action Report
The 76ers ran roughshod over the Heat 135-109. The tempo dragged the Heat into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The 76ers pushed the pace until the other side broke; Heat's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The 76ers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the 76ers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
