After Action Report
The Heat rolled past the Magic 117-81. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Heat cashed in. The Heat looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; the Magic came in with something to prove after a loss. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. Heat's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Magic · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Heat · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
