After Action Report
In Miami, the Magic outlasted the Heat 102-95. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Magic carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Magic's defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Magic bench chemistry carried them. Heat's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
