After Action Report

The Heat rolled past the Magic 112-85. Every possession went the Heat way. Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Heat answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Heat per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Heat · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
