After Action Report

In Miami, the Heat survived the Magic 125-123. Heat controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Heat carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. The Heat rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
