After Action Report
In Orlando, the Magic survived the Heat 133-128. The tempo dragged the Heat into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Magic's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Heat's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Magic rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
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.
