After Action Report
In Miami, the Magic survived the Heat 90-88. Ugly basketball, but the Magic did just enough. Fresh off a statement win, the Magic stayed locked in; Magic's Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Magic bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Magic per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
