After Action Report
The Heat fended off the Magic 131-123 in overtime. Heat's scorers couldn't be contained. Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Magic are in a full-on tailspin. The Magic looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Magic's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Magic · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
