After Action Report
The Heat blew the doors off the Magic 116-89. The Magic had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Heat owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Magic's skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. Whispers of a Magic locker-room rift aren't helping. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Magic · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
