After Action Report
The Heat held off the Trail Blazers 118-112 in overtime. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Heat cashed in. The Heat answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Heat bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Trail Blazers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
