After Action Report
In Miami, the Heat ran roughshod over the Magic 118-74. The Magic had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Magic couldn't shake the cold spell; Magic's Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. The Magic rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- 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.
