After Action Report

The 76ers edged the Heat 99-91. The better team simply showed up tonight. The 76ers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Heat owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The 76ers bench chemistry carried them. 76ers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
