After Action Report
In Miami, the Heat rolled past the Magic 126-102. The tempo dragged the Magic into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Heat owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Heat's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
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 · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
