After Action Report
The Magic downed the Heat 106-96. Ugly basketball, but the Magic did just enough. Magic's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Magic's defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Magic per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Heat · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
