After Action Report

In a track meet, the Magic survived the Heat 129-126. Magic controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Shots just aren't falling for the Magic lately; Magic's veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes.

What tipped it

  • 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.
  • 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.
