After Action Report

The Heat ran roughshod over the Magic 125-73. Heat's scorers couldn't be contained. The Heat bent the defense out of shape from deep; the Magic are in a full-on tailspin. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. The Heat rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Magic · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
