After Action Report

The Magic took care of the Heat 129-111. The breakneck pace played right into Magic's hands. Second-chance points piled up for the Magic; shots just aren't falling for the Magic lately. Magic's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Magic · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Magic · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Heat · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
