After Action Report
The Heat survived the Magic 106-101. The Magic couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Heat. Heat's Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Magic's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Heat's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Magic · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
