After Action Report
The Magic survived the Heat 120-117. Magic torched the Heat on the offensive end. The Magic came in with something to prove after a loss; Heat's veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Whispers of a Heat locker-room rift aren't helping. The Heat rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Magic · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
