After Action Report
In Miami, the Heat ran roughshod over the Magic 122-83. Heat's scorers couldn't be contained. Magic's old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Heat per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
