After Action Report
The Heat outlasted the Magic 110-104. Ugly basketball, but the Heat did just enough. Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Magic owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Early returns: the Heat per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Magic · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
