After Action Report
The Heat buried the Magic 133-111. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Heat cashed in. The Heat came in with something to prove after a loss; the Heat pushed the pace until the other side broke. Whispers of a Magic locker-room rift aren't helping. The Heat rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Magic · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Heat · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
