After Action Report
The Magic buried the Heat 121-97. The Heat had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Heat looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Early returns: the Magic per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
