After Action Report
The Heat outlasted the Magic 105-93. The Magic couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Heat. The Heat bent the defense out of shape from deep; the Magic ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. Early returns: the Heat per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Magic · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
