After Action Report
In a track meet, the Magic edged the Heat 123-117. Magic controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Magic's outside barrage was a constant threat; Heat's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim.
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.
- Heat · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
