After Action Report

The Heat pulled away from the Magic 110-94. Heat's offense had its way with the Magic. The Heat carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Heat bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. Heat's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • 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.
  • 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.
