After Action Report

In Orlando, the Magic stunned the Heat 125-116. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Magic cashed in. Magic's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Heat owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. The Magic rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. An upset for the books.

What tipped it

  • Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
