After Action Report
The Magic ran roughshod over the Heat 111-83. Magic's offense had its way with the Heat. Second-chance points piled up for the Magic; fresh off a statement win, the Magic stayed locked in. The Magic bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Magic per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.

- Magic · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Magic · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
