After Action Report

In Orlando, the Heat rolled past the Magic 116-71. Heat torched the Magic on the offensive end. The Heat couldn't shake the cold spell; the Magic couldn't shake the cold spell. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. The Magic rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.

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 · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
