After Action Report
The Magic survived the Heat 109-105. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Heat came in with something to prove after a loss. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. Magic's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Heat · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
