After Action Report

In Orlando, the Heat took care of the Magic 107-94. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Fresh off a statement win, the Heat stayed locked in; shots just aren't falling for the Magic lately. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. Heat's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • 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.
  • Heat · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
