After Action Report

The Heat ran roughshod over the Magic 110-87. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Heat's veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; shots just aren't falling for the Magic lately. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Magic utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Magic · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
