After Action Report
In Orlando, the Magic outlasted the Heat 109-98. The better team simply showed up tonight. Magic's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Magic answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
