After Action Report
In Miami, the Magic fended off the Heat 120-113. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Magic cashed in. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Magic; the Magic bent the defense out of shape from deep. Whispers of a Heat locker-room rift aren't helping. Early returns: the Magic per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Magic · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
