After Action Report
The Magic blew the doors off the Heat 130-104. Magic controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Magic's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Magic. The Heat looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Early returns: the Magic per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Magic · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Heat · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
