After Action Report

The Heat ran roughshod over the Magic 136-89. The Heat got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Heat answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; second-chance points piled up for the Magic. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. Heat's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Magic · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Magic · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Heat · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
