After Action Report
The Heat ran roughshod over the Magic 114-93. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Heat played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Magic came in with something to prove after a loss. The Magic looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Heat's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Heat · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Magic · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
