After Action Report
The Heat rolled past the Magic 131-107. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Heat cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Heat; the Magic are in a full-on tailspin. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Heat per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Magic · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
