After Action Report
The Heat held off the Magic 124-116. Heat controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Heat. The Magic rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
