After Action Report

In Orlando, the Heat took care of the Magic 128-117. The Heat got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Heat's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Heat owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. Heat's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Magic · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • 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.
