After Action Report
The Heat squeaked past the Magic 104-103. The Heat won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Heat played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Heat bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. 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
- Heat · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
