After Action Report
The Heat survived the Magic 108-107. The Magic couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Heat. Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Heat. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. Heat's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
