After Action Report
The Magic buried the Heat 108-88. Magic's scorers couldn't be contained. Magic's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Magic. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. Heat's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Magic · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
