After Action Report
The Magic ran roughshod over the Heat 107-76. Magic's offense had its way with the Heat. Second-chance points piled up for the Magic; the Magic carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Magic per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
