After Action Report
The Magic ran roughshod over the Heat 115-89. The better team simply showed up tonight. Fresh off a statement win, the Magic stayed locked in; Magic's defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. The Magic rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
