After Action Report
In a track meet, the Magic snuck past the Heat 121-117. The tempo dragged the Heat into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Second-chance points piled up for the Magic; the Magic pushed the pace until the other side broke. Magic's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Heat · 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.
