After Action Report
The Magic took care of the Heat 105-91. Magic torched the Heat on the offensive end. Fresh off a statement win, the Magic stayed locked in; Magic's outside barrage was a constant threat. The Magic bench chemistry carried them. Magic's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
