After Action Report
The Heat squeaked past the Magic 95-94. The Magic couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Heat. The Heat bent the defense out of shape from deep; Magic's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Magic looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Early returns: the Heat per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
