After Action Report
The Heat survived the Magic 123-122. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Heat cashed in. Heat's defenders refused to give up clean looks; Magic's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Early returns: the Heat per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Magic · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
