After Action Report
The Magic snuck past the Heat 100-99. Magic's scorers couldn't be contained. The Magic carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Magic's Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Magic bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Magic per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
