After Action Report
The Heat squeaked past the Magic 110-109. Heat's offense had its way with the Magic. Heat's outside barrage was a constant threat; the Magic carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. 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. Style points be damned.
