After Action Report

The Heat demolished the Magic 132-99. The Heat got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Shots just aren't falling for the Magic lately; Magic's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. Heat's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Magic · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
