After Action Report

The Heat snuck past the Magic 129-128 in overtime. The Magic had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Heat's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Heat owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Heat rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.

What tipped it

  • Magic · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • 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 · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
