After Action Report

The Heat blew the doors off the Magic 118-81. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Heat cashed in. The Heat owned the glass, generating extra possessions; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Heat. Never a doubt in this one.

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.
  • Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Magic · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Magic · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
