After Action Report
In a track meet, the Magic buried the Heat 121-96. Magic's scorers couldn't be contained. The Magic carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Magic pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. The Heat rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
