After Action Report

The Magic buried the Heat 122-85. The better team simply showed up tonight. Magic's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Magic answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Magic per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
