After Action Report
In Miami, the Heat outlasted the Magic 82-71. Ugly basketball, but the Heat did just enough. The Heat answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; shots just aren't falling for the Magic lately. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. The Heat rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Survive-and-advance type win.
