After Action Report

In Orlando, the Magic outlasted the Heat 108-98. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Magic owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. The Magic rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
