After Action Report
The Magic blew the doors off the Heat 112-87. The better team simply showed up tonight. Magic's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Heat played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Heat utilization choices clashed with the team identity. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.

- Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
