After Action Report
The Heat ran roughshod over the Magic 122-90. The Magic had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Heat owned the glass, generating extra possessions; fresh off a statement win, the Heat stayed locked in. The Magic looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
