After Action Report
The Magic snuck past the Heat 114-112 in overtime. The Heat couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Magic. Magic's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Magic's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
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.
