After Action Report

The Magic squeaked past the Heat 112-108. Magic's offense had its way with the Heat. Magic's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Magic owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Heat looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Heat's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.

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 · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • 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.
