After Action Report

The Magic demolished the Heat 131-84. The Heat had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Magic's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Magic owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Whispers of a Heat locker-room rift aren't helping. Heat's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Heat · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • 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.
