After Action Report
The Magic rolled past the Heat 88-68. Magic's starting five clicked while the Heat looked disjointed. Fresh off a statement win, the Magic stayed locked in; Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Whispers of a Heat locker-room rift aren't helping. Never a doubt in this one.
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.
- Magic · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
