After Action Report
The Heat blew the doors off the Magic 118-87. Heat's offense had its way with the Magic. The Heat bent the defense out of shape from deep; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Magic. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Heat per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Magic · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
