After Action Report
In Miami, the Magic buried the Heat 102-82. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Magic came in with something to prove after a loss; Magic's veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Whispers of a Heat locker-room rift aren't helping. The Magic rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- 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.
- Magic · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
