After Action Report

In Orlando, the Heat rolled past the Magic 114-92. Heat's scorers couldn't be contained. Second-chance points piled up for the Heat; the Heat carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. 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 · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Heat · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
