After Action Report
The Magic pulled away from the Heat 109-96. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Fresh off a statement win, the Magic stayed locked in; Magic's old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Heat looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Magic rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
What tipped it
- Magic · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- 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.
