After Action Report
The Heat downed the Magic 119-103. Heat torched the Magic on the offensive end. Heat's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; fresh off a statement win, the Heat stayed locked in. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Heat per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.

- Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Heat · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
