After Action Report
The Heat demolished the Knicks 117-96. The Heat got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Heat owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Heat carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. The Knicks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
