After Action Report
The Heat survived the Magic 107-106. The breakneck pace played right into Heat's hands. The Heat owned the glass, generating extra possessions; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Heat. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Heat · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Magic · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
