After Action Report
The Heat snuck past the Magic 102-100. Ugly basketball, but the Heat did just enough. Heat's defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Magic bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. The Heat rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Survive-and-advance type win.
