After Action Report
The Magic ran roughshod over the Heat 121-98. The Magic got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Magic's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Magic couldn't shake the cold spell. The Heat looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Heat's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Magic · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Heat · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
