After Action Report
The Heat squeaked past the Magic 105-100. The Magic couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Heat. Second-chance points piled up for the Heat; Heat's defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. The Magic rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
