After Action Report
The Heat survived the Magic 97-92. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Fresh off a statement win, the Heat stayed locked in; Heat's Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Early returns: the Heat per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
