After Action Report
In Miami, the Heat snuck past the Magic 102-100. The Heat won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Heat owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
