After Action Report
The Heat downed the Magic 114-100. The breakneck pace played right into Heat's hands. Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Heat pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Heat per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Magic · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
