After Action Report
In a track meet, the Heat squeaked past the Magic 102-101. The tempo dragged the Magic into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Heat. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Heat per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.
