After Action Report
The Heat ran roughshod over the Magic 137-101. The Heat got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Heat's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Magic's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Early returns: the Heat per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
